| An unmanned combat air vehicle or combat drone or simply "drone" is an unmanned aerial vehicle that is armed and has no onboard pilot. Currently operational drones are under real-time human control of unknown precision. |

| I don't think human controlled drones are unethical, but the way in which we are using these drones is unethical, in fact, its a war crime. |

Lauris, Drones can't actually fight each other, they hit ground targets.
They absolutely are unethical, they do the job, but they also wipe out anyone near the target. |

@Dan
Please explain how the drone itself is unethical. Some religions say life should only be created by God/Allah/some other god, drones are not life. They are controlled by living beings, but the drone itself is not life. The way they are used, however, can certainly be considered unethical. Not the drone itself.

Drones have one Manifest Function, they do that Manifest Function so terribly that they kill several innocent lives.
There is no other use for drones, therefore the drone itself is unethical. |

So basically a drone is like a machine and it's only function is to turn off, which depends on it existing? Replace turn off with kill and you have a drone.

So since that one manifest function is to kill, and the drone ends up killing others than the target, that makes it so inefficient that it's unethical?

| Yeh that would be a good way of putting it. Only because it's inefficiency affects lives. |

If the target were to be a group of people, would that change the viewpoint of it being unethical?

Point made..
Drones aren't unethical, some of the reasons they are used are unethical. |

Drones aren't unethical, some of the reasons they are used are unethical. - I think autonomous drones are as unethical as landmines are, but like I said before, human controlled drones are not unethical, just as using a cruise missile isn't unethical. It is the way we use these drones that is unethical/war crime. |
