I am convinced that human engineers will create a robot or computer so smart that it is in effect another intelligent life form.
My question is this: Can an intelligent new race of electronic beings, that are conscious, also have a corresponding soul as all humans do?
God made us and breathed life into us, so maybe God will breathe spiritual life into smart robots, so they too will have souls as well as consciousness. If God fabricates and instills in smart robots a soul, then I assume they are bound to De, and, like the rest of us, could go to heaven, hell or Purgatory based on that robot’s behavior, spiritually and morally, over the course of its life.
Would a robot be immortal or mortal, and how would that affect his being judged by God, if he lives forever? Humans, by contrast, are mortal and judged by God, after death, and assigned to heaven, hell or Purgatory.
