“The Three Laws of Robotics:
1: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm;
2: A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law;

The Zeroth Law: A robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.”

The old man watched helpless as the boy, with mounting agitation, spun threads of loss from his palms and fingertips.”
