3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
Later revised by Asimov to include a zeroth law:
0. A robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.
Sort of like the Zeroth Law of Thermodynamic being added to the other three. 
That would get everything of merit in without having to read all the dated and silly stuff.
Then a lively discussion could ensue.
Asimov’s Laws of Robotics Are Total BS Alert, link contains "Robotic Laws" spoilers.

That article is BS. It debunks the laws buy giving real world examples which don't mean a thing because this is science fiction, not non-fiction. The author is full of BS and has his head firmly entrench up his ass.
We could start a thread on
Ethan Frome entitled. "Ethan Frome is severely depressing and poorly written (spoilers unfortunately)"
