It's not a right, but that doesn't mean it's not a good idea. I think societies will find that the benefits of setting it up are worth more than the cost.
If I buy a car, I can take it home and legally pound on it with a sledge hammer, cut it up with a blow torch, use it for target practice, etc. I could not legally do this with a pet because of animal cruelty laws.
Why should a robot be different than any other machine?
How many innovations were created by young men who didn't have girlfriends?
If Isaac Newton had been making out with a wench under the apple tree he never would have noticed the apple falling and we'd still be living an an Aristotilian world.
Even if there weren't a hardware defect, shouldn't they wipe the disk and reinstall the OS from scratch (to protect the second buyer from the possibility that the first buyer got some malware).
I've got a Farside on my cube wall. The caption is "Fumbling for his recline button, Ted unwittingly instigates a disaster." The picture is a guy sitting in an airplane seat about to grab a switch that's labeled "wings stay on" and "wings fall off".
It's a reminder to me to try to avoid giving my users a way to shoot themselves in the foot.
On the other hand, people need powerful tools to get their jobs done, and those tools can do horrible things when used incorrectly. There's only so much we can do to make things safe.
So we want to use nanotechnology to get the last of the ketchup out of the bottle... to assimilate it... I'm pretty sure that's how the Borg got started.
Although some people might benefit by the changes, there will probably be more losers than winners.
Our society has been optimized based on the way things were. People farm where crops grow well. Ports are built at sea level near the places where comodities come from.
Rising sea levels are going to cause problems for people who live near old coast lines. I think this will outweigh any other gains.

You should also have toilets than can handle number 2
picking fights with U2 is a bad idea (you don't want to know how the Edge got his nick name).
Since the dawn of civilization, rats have caused humanity lots of trouble. Thank goodness Monsanto has figured out a way to get rid of them!
there you are.
but I bet his reasoning has something to do with the idea of female crew members in short skirts

Yup! Woz and Jobs started out as phone phreaks.

that there isn't an app for that.
Most Americans will not have to pay this tax. Only about 1 in 6 Americans don't have health insurance.
