UAVs are potentially extremely dangerous. The arguments in support of autonomous weapons are weak, and they give no ethical reason for the weapons to exist, only logical reasons. There are many things in the world which can easily be interpreted as logical, but are definitely not ethical. The philosophical arguments show that there is no ethical support for autonomous weapons, with the exception of utilitarianism that does not give a conclusive argument either way. For governments to develop these weapons show how little regard they have for the lives of those in foreign countries. The detachment from the conflict and simply sending in robots to do your dirty work for you is unacceptable and should not be the way the world is heading. Deontology
