[ExI] Machines of Loving Grace

[Keith Henson]

The Clinic Seed story discussed the good an AI operating a medical
facility can do as well as having the side effect of humans going
biologically extinct.  The problem was with the humans and nobody has
ever suggested a way to avoid the problem.

I think I have mentioned this before, but if not, you really should
read the Rosinante books by Gilliland.  They are (in my not-so-humble
opinion) the best on both AI and space colonies ever written.  I am
not sure that he was the first to mention it, but a self-owned
corporation is a way to give Ais (who want it) human rights.
