More and more is being written on this subject as the spectre of more-or-less fully autonomous weapons looms ever closer.

This is no longer science fiction--autonomous weapons are likely to become a reality in our lifetimes, perhaps even if we do decide not to open that door and instead just pretend to be satisfied with semi-autonomous weapons.
Can we prevent them? Should we?
