This is not a new question or thought, at least not since Turin asked the question; but it keeps cropping up in movies.
What I find in reading or hearing such discussions however is that they seem to miss the simple fact that what makes humans human is the uncontrollable imperfections we all have. This was addressed in Star Trek through Data (the character) on occassion but seems to be seldom considred whenever "scientists" discuss AI.
The question is, can one have true sentience and self awareness without the uncontrolled emotions and other thought patterns that humans are prone to, not to mention simple basics like certain mortality, pain, disease and more?
Can we ever build a machine that has the same capacity to suffer, or love, and why would we consider imposing something like, say, peridontal disease on something we create as many believe gods did to us?
