Let me try to unpack my thoughts a little more.


Are there elements of the human experience that A.I. proponents are overlooking as to what makes us different from robots? For instance, there seems to be some empirical evidence that suggest the human mind is no differnet, ultimatly, than a computer.

Any thoughts?


What would we consider a clone to be, if a human can be cloned? Human? Soul-less?


What about things like stem cell research? Even though we have laws which prevent certain aspects of this technology, that doesn't mean these things aren't a possibility. If we can manufacture limbs for people or cure certain things with this technology, does this effect our Christianity in anyway?

I hope I am being clear.
