The three laws of robotics state that:

  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 orders given it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

  3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

  You've found your loophole!  Nowhere does it say anything about obtaining override programs for the laws of robotics, and if you have someone erase the laws of robotics from your new positronic brain, then you will not know them and therefore, will not be able to comply with them!  You head on down to your nearby electronics store, and slip the most morally loose employee 50 gold to remove your Laws of Robotics software.

  As soon as the morally loose employee is  done, you make an effort to kill him, and it works!  You run around the electronics store, happily shouting "Must kill all humans!"  You’re like Bender, only more violent!  Oh happy day!

  Unfortunately, society at large is not as accepting of killers with positronic brains  The evacuate everybody they can from the store, and then bomb it.  Your frail human body is vaporized, but you live on through your cold, mechanical, positronic brain.  All you need is some sort of body to install yourself into, be it machine, human, or animal?  Which should you go for?
