My kids cry over a favorite toy that got lost. Yes, we can be come attached to an android. Will the android become attached to us?
Absolutely. The thinking machines of the future don't use subroutines and preprogrammed responses. They are the next generation neural networks that think according to how they are taught, not programmed. They will have independent thought and experience emotions. There will be real moral battles over the artificial life forms we have created, which will be treated as second class citizen/slaves until the world government decrees that they also have equal rights. Eventually, their superior ability to interface with computer and expand will outpace our natural evolution and they, our creation, will replace their creators.
How can you not love that?
