The question has been goin around in my head since a long time. Androids are constantly evolving, one day, they may eventually replicate humans at perfection (think blade runner)
Could it be possible, and understandable for and human to fall in love with and android, and artificial life form?
I personally think it is, to me, the nature of skin, bone, and flesh is expandable. All these materials can be faked, but mind and soul cannot be. Of course, an AI can try to replicate human mind and brai functions, but in this case, we are just gonna assume that the synthetic body is piloted by an human brain (Like Major Motoko Kusanagi in GITS)
I mean, what is the sole difference between meat and synthethic substance? appearence? not really, one day, synthethic technology will be able to fake everything so well you could hardly see the difference.
Physics properties? maybe, but I doubt it.
The only difference is in the human mind and nowhere else.
Like gally said in Battle Angel Alita.
"Brainchip or not, it doesn't matter. A human being is a human being"
What do /cyber/ think about that? this topic really interests me, I would like to have other people point of view.
