Yeah, I noticed the apparent parrallels between Neo's choice and Asimov's Laws. But bear in mind that the Agents kill people all the time.
This could be explained by:
1: Killing the odd person here and there isn't the same thing as wiping out an entire race. But this doesn't sit well, in my opinion, with "machine logic": killing is killing, end of story.
2: They don't actually die, but this would require a "matrix within a matrix" explaination....an "afterlife" matrix?

Or the Matrix is for our own safety. The machines may have decided that humans were as much a danger to themselves as they are to everything else. And so they made the Matrix as the ultimate crash helmet.

Yeah, that pretty much the way I was thinking with my first explaination.
Once again...Revolutions had better not suck!...or I am going on a killing spree!
