Syntho-sis Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 IMO if silicon based life were to evolve on some distant planet, I don't think it would be very physically recognizable. Even if they were able to able to perform the same mental tasks as us. On the original question...Would I consider the original machine human? No I would not. Would I consider it intelligent and worthy of the same rights as applied to humans? I think it depends on how advanced these machines really are at that point and whether or not they are self-replicating. (Which would be a bit strange.)
