I would say if it WAS possible (and i am not a scientist so i don't know if it is) it would happen sometime in the next 50-150 years with the rate our computers have been going in the past 20 years alone.

Definitely within 100 years. That is my opinion.sigpic

If humanity actually learned from its mistakes it would no longer have things that are extremely divisive like partisan politics and organized religion.Comment

Thinking about this now, I still think we have to be very careful what we create. That, and how much power we give our creations.sigpic

I tend to agree. Hence my sig. They may be lines from television, but they are hugely applicable today. I think we already have made/are making the same mistakes.Originally posted by Galileo_Galilee View Post"We still commit murder because of greed and spite and jealousy, and we still visit all of our sins upon our children.

I can see us making the same mistakes. It all has to do with the untrustworthiness among the countries. Think about it. Everyone wants to be superior. What measures superiority? Technology. Creating Humans is the ultimate accomplishment as seen in the eyes of a scientist; that is a major milestone trying to be acquired. On the path to such a discovery, mistakes must be made-we are only human. Such mistakes could have overwhelming consequences.
I know it may sound farfetched, but I am sure in the future there is a great possibility of this happening.
