RE: The biology of the possible: what artificial life can teach us about the nature of living systems
artificial life can be"alive" it's just our perception ...if in the future science will succeed in creating artificial intelligence and your PC will be your best friend you will no longer regard it as one thing....he will become a real person for you ...
This reminds me of the idea behind that movie "Her", or the character Joi from the new Blade Runner film.
I think many of us are just still really rooted in the idea that alive things have to be organic, however faulty that assumption might be!
