The debate is not whether it’s coming, it’s what does it mean, and how will it impact society....do we need new laws?

We need a new society. This is the gun debate all over, but far more potentially deadly. Technology has reached the point where any clever engineering types can create their own swarm drones, and quickly wipe out a dozen men in a battlefield situation.

Terrorists will figure out that they can use drones too. There is no stopping the weapons, the only workable solution is to stop the mindset that would employ such weapons, and by this I mean "Morals."

Society must embrace morals once again, and not subjective morals that may change from individual to individual, but a broadly accepted and clearly defined set of morals that have a proven track record of mitigating the worst of human behavior.

This is a good start.

Consider it bios firmware for Humans.

“Consider it bios firmware for Humans.”

God help us, because we are f-ing with the human firmware. That is far more dangerous tech than drones. Your solution applies equally, perhaps more so.

Technology is always a perishable advantage. But having it in the hands of political types does bother me. Police are Instruments of politics.

The sniper is dead. That is good. But a drone on every street corner collecting revenue from each citizen iS entirely plausible and disturbing.

You need to understand bible history to understand the place of the Decalogue (aka Ten Commandments).

The ultimate morality of Christianity exceeds this, with an exception that no literal Sabbath day is required. Instead it has become spiritual: resting from one’s own works, permitting God’s works to operate instead.
