Actually with current level of bioengineering one could resurrect whole species back to life and that means bringing back to life neanderthals for example. If thats not creating a being like human, what is? :)
"Scientists are talking for the first time about the old idea of resurrecting extinct species as if this staple of science fiction is a realistic possibility, saying that a living mammoth could perhaps be regenerated for as little as $10 million. The same technology could be applied to any other extinct species from which one can obtain hair, horn, hooves, fur or feathers, and which went extinct within the last 60,000 years, the effective age limit for DNA."

Well, I revisit my comment/opinion about the matter itself:
I personally am a indie dev and I do like to figure out how something is done in games. Especially AI in strategy games have fascinated me always and I always find a way to make AI do exactly what I want it to do(I figure out the algorithm and follow it.). To make AI that impress/fools game dev is even harder so 'we' are kind of immune until we have enough processing power to simulate all the things theres going on in brains. When that happens, no one can say is it real or not.
