Laws of biology and definition of life leads to another rather interesting question. When and what is life really? Must life be biological? If yes, then why?
If we create a complex environment for a mind to habit in a mecanical/electronical matter, would this live?
Can a mind "habit" something? Can it move to another "house" or is it bound by the physical matter?
If its not bound, then what is mind?
If we create an artificial inteligence that is so complex that we recognize mind, is there then a mind or is it an illusion?
Do we (humans) have the knowledge to recognize when there is real life or just an illusion?
I am pretty sure we allready today can create a computersystem that can mimic a human mind to some point. Will this ever be a mind and ultimately life?
If we (humans) say we can distingish real life/mind from illusions, then can we be sure that the life we recongize today really _is_ life....?
If we encontered an alien species that after some time, according to our definitions, is mekanical.. have we finaly encontered extraterestial life?
Reproduce... hmm.. robots making robots.. well its not an impossible thought.
And finaly, if we can create life - will that make us Gods?
