Scientific study for bettering human life is okay with me, but this is very disturbing on another level. A machine with a brain, such as the unmanned aircraft, seems a bit like the start of something dangerous. If the brain can fly the aircraft, it can probably do a lot of other thinking and planning. In all living creatures and these would be a type of living creature, there is always a self preservation instinct and I don't think we could really control it. Hope the wrong scientist doesn’t start trying to make machines with living brains. Man vs. Machine
