@SnowWhitesDrug: Your post has a lot of assumptions and some bad reasoning. I could go on about it for a long time but I'll just refer to two parts:
Yes its a much more complex process, but in that man can not claim to have created an animal or life.
What about synthetic bacteria? That's definitely creating life, unless you have a really narrow definition of creation.
You also have to remember that what is on a computer is bound by binary code. 1's and 0's. And "life" isnt exactly something that can be converted to 1's and 0's lol, so there for a computer character can never "become" alive, and neither can a computer controled being. They can only imitate something that is alive.
Actually not all computers are digital, you can just as well have an analog computer if it's necessary to produce artificial intelligence. In strict terms a brain can be seen as an analog computer actually .
