Robots that think like humans

Link to Article in ZDNET

Here is an article about attempts to make machines think like humans. Lots of people try this. Maybe someday someone will be successful. At least modern hardware devices are fast enough these days to give it a good try.

I wonder though, even if someone is successful, will its intelligence be so human-like that it would seem immoral to let it get blown up digging in mine fields or fetching bombs?

There was also a news article about the Korean android that had many human characteristics, though it seemed to be rather limited mentally, and could not really perform many general purpose tasks.

Also, EveR as she was called, was modeled after a woman. Is that a clue as to the intended development path for future versions?
