Autonomous Weapon (LAWS) or “Killer Robots”. Although these machines do not yet exist‚ some believe that their development is imminent and steps should be taken to ban them now. Should “Killer Robots” be banned ? Killer robots have really become a concern for people nowadays. What is a killer robot? What will happen if they really exist? What will happen to humanity? “A killer robot is a fully autonomous weapon that can select and engage targets without any human intervention.” (No Author‚ 2014)1

Over recent years the nature vs. nurture debate has been extensively discussed and researched. Should human characteristics such as intelligence‚ personality‚ behavior and ability be attributed to our genetics or our environment? One problem with this is how to pin a trait down to either an inherited or learned characteristic‚ or perhaps its both. Are we to blame for our behavior or is inevitable due to our genetics? This question and others seems to be part of the controversy over the subject

genes influence these processes. Natural human behavior is seen as the result of already-present biological factors‚ such as genetic code. On the other hand‚ someone looking at it from a nurture perspective would argue that these processes are acquired through interaction with the environment. Nurtured human behavior is seen as the result of environmental interaction‚ which can provoke changes in brain structure and chemistry. The nature vs. nurture debate seeks to understand how our personalities

It is a debate whether human behavior‚ attitude‚ and personalities is the result of biological/genetic factors (nature) or is it life experiences and what we learn/reflect from them (nurture).
