Is Dorse bound by zeroth law?

External Since: Aug 25, 2003 Posts: 3

As she can injure or even kill human, we discuss that she may be bound
by zeroth law. From that she realize that she has to kill ... to
protect Seldon and his plan. But Is she bound by zeroth law or just
the order given by Daneel is too strong that allow her to injure/kill
human (that against first law)
Thanks

That's a good question. The short answer is, yes. One explanation would be
that even orders
given to her by Daneel would not be able to override the First Law unless
those orders were
backed up by the Zeroth Law. Another is that she herself stated to Seldon
once that his
sucess was the most important thing above all else. That is a Zeroth Law
statement
