Re: Do robots have feelings?

you are getting into two areas: feelings and living.

First you have to define what feelings are, and what it means to be alive.

Robots and computers have already passed several significant milestones:

1. Beat the world champion at chess.
2. Killed people (I think the first was a car assembly line robot in Japan, worker was crushed by a robot)
3. Reproduction: computer viruses can self replicated.

a good indication of feelings will be when a robot gets punched and:

1. says "ow!"
2. then says "that really stings you jerk!"
3. then refuses to do anything until you apologize :^)
