[QUOTE="Whyayeman, post: 77656012, member: 415320"] One machine that can synthesise food, make weapons and develop artificial life? We already have a very vigorous weapons development industry; the ethics there are no different - and there are clearly contentious issues, but again you hypothetical machine does not alter that. The arguments would be the same. Artificial life forms are with us here and now in the form of cloned organisms and genetically engineered food sources. It is contentious, of course. Your machine does not change anything there either. [/QUOTE]
