Heh. I can see where you are going with. What about programmers that can  programming the robot to think and feel as a human. I cannot remember which article I read.. it mentioned that one japanese company finally can create a program that can react to pains and 'emotions' and develop from it. Like.. cat got killed and it can 'literally' feel sad and develop the aftermath actions like 'how to move on'. Right now, it is all in computer, not robot or cyborg yet. So if it can do that as we do in the future, does it mean that robot is becoming a human if they can do that as we did with 'think' and feeling' ability? (good example: Animatrix movie to expand my explaination)


To sum up, what if robot have the ability to think and feel as we do, does it mean that 'they' (I am not sure if I can use 'they' word for these robots) are human as well because of these human qualities? I know that's what you are trying to say. To me, it is pretty scary to call these robots with ability to think and feel as 'humans'.
