Quoted from CaptainNeo:If I had my consciousness transfered into a 16 year old girls body, i'd never leave the house and my fingers would water logged.

Quoted from PhilGreg:Then when you get into the soul as the differentiator between the two types of intelligences, well you get outside the realm of logical discussion and into the religious one.
No matter how advanced robots can get they will never be sentient - they can programmed to do much more than humans can do or think one day, but they will never be able to legitimately have a sentience/mind, even if they are scripted to have a very advanced emulation of one which allows them to make their own decisions or "react" like a human would to certain circumstances.
They can be smart or scripted to appear like they feel feelings (or even artificial fight or flight response, and responses based on potential harm/loss of function, etc., to try and save themselves, like a human would) but there will never be a real thing behind the eyes like a human. Ever. That is the essence of a "soul", religious or not.
