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 :^)
