There are computers out there that are designed to work just like human brain. Also as mentioned earlier that other beings like animals also have brains with said chemicals and electrical signals. But they lack the consciousness of humans.

We don't yet have computers that are sufficiently powerful, nor software that is able to emulate out brain, but ones we solve that problem on both a hardware and software level, there is nothing stopping a computer from being just as conscious as us, and having just is much "free will" (ie. none).

A computer being as conscious as us? As in falling in love and feeling sad? Making decision based on ideas and emotions..? I'm sorry but that is science fiction and has absolutely no logical bases. Also:

I also mentioned how animals brain have chemicals and electrical signals but like us but they lack human-like conciousness. As I said in my first post, it is something that we don't fully understand, and science as of right now has no comprehensive answer or explanation. Only observations.

I think I'm done now. I don't think I can add more. I really enjoyed the topic. :)
