Document Summary

Despite use of autonomous drones perhaps being illegal, they might be deemed legal in extreme cases of self-defense. However, autonomous uavs are far more likely to be deployed than nuclear weapons of any sort. Even the international court of justice ruled it was impossible to determine if use of nuclear weapons in cases of extreme self-defense were legal under international law. Wwii provides examples of entire populations of civilians being wiped out in order to attack an enemy (st. l , france) Firing back at targets in civilian centers indiscriminately kills civilians even though they were not targeted themselves. Loss of advanced targeting capability during battle, or emergence of enemy capacities that use indiscriminate targeting might justify more lenient approach to distinction and proportionality. Medical privacy increasingly breached; information being shared with insurance companies, researchers, marketers and employers. Threats of sharing more prevalent genetic health information. Biometrics: recognition technologies which can identify bodily attributes.
