for a moment, join me in considering the possibility that engineered (read, artificial) life will one day be created by humankind.
assume that this life is self-aware, and that we have imbued it with rudimentary emotions, cognition, sapience and the capacity to learn. it differs from us in that it is a mechanical/technological construction and can interface directly with electronics. It possesses both the advantages and disadvantages of that nature.
what are the philosophical implications, if any? i cast a broad net in the question, and welcome any perspective however far afield it may be.

Good question Alek.
I have some questions about this.
Since we created it, do we own it?
Would it have a soul?
What if it decides to turn against us?
What if it decides to breed with us to create a superior race?
These are questions that came to mind just now.
Gone for a while. Be back when I'm back. |
