In class we started to watch the movie Artificial Intelligence. This movie raises the question of when does a machine become human. In the movie the couple treats their robot son as a real son until their biological son returns. Their biological son treats the robot son as a toy. I think in the movie the robot son is not treated as he should be. The mother leaves him in the woods for him to vend for himself. Even though the robot child loves her.
In the Bible God gave humans souls and free will and intellect. That is the criteria for a human being. Yet, the consider a robot a human how can we tell if it has a soul if us humans cant tell if we have souls. They cant be seen by us. Some of the robots in the movie seem to have free will.
I believe at a certain point a machine can be considered humans. If they have feelings and can think for themselves they deserve to be treated as a human being.
