The robots are not supposed to harm them. But what qualifies as human? Genetically we are quite different. Male/female, race and even the number of chromosomes can differ as people with Down Syndrome have an extra one. Not only that, but Asimov fiddled with the laws (or optimized them). He added a zeroth law, stating that robots shouldn't harm humanity. Proving that the laws don't work flawlessly. > And speaking of robots, I changed to a new newsreader.
