    I’m curious how they interpret things like medical procedures that harm a human but are ultimately good. Like setting a bone or a simple vaccination.

      In general they weigh the immediate harm against long-term benefits, but a lot of edge cases are discussed during the various short stories, like cases where there are only harmful outcomes. They are definitely worth a read!

        I might check them out. I’ve recently began playing Space Station 14 and cyborgs as well as the ship’s AI have to follow the Asimov laws (except it’s “crew” instead of humans).
