The Three Laws of Robotics

First Law: A robot must not harm a human being, or through inaction, allow a human being to come to hard
Second Law: A robot must obey orders issued by human beings, insofar as such obedience does not come into conflict with the First Law
Third Law: A robot must protect its own existence insofar as this does not come into conflict with the First or Second Laws

and the supposed Zeroth Law
Zeroth Law: A robot must not harm humanity, or through inaction, allow humanity to come to harm, even if such would come into conflict with the First, Second or Third Laws

Imagine if you could apply them to a human being. Replace 'robot' with 'human', and 'human beings' in the Second Law to 'authority'. After all, a good human is expected to his fellow man and not do harm upon him, to obey authority, to protect his or her own life, and above all to improve humanity ('or through inaction').

Could this possibly work?
