Simply program it to WANT to die....


(Or have it spend some time with my ex- wife. Essentially the same thing)

The question isn't 'can we' but 'should we'.

Boru

Sure we should.

Even if a machine is self aware - it' s not going to get emotional about things. You would have to program it that way. You wouldn't.

So the machine isn't going to get all worked up and create a religion for itself to make it feel better about dying - unlike some carbon based lifeforms I won't mention....
