Does that make them equal in a way that if one of them killed a human =
one
could assume that all other bots from this series will as well?
I think the means of reproduction are somewhat irrelevant here, as even =
if
all copies of a certain program are clones, they all would still develop =
in
a different way...they would have a personality that is alike in many
points, but it's the details that count here (IMHO)...the one who killed
might even serve as a warning to all the others...
