It all depends on what consciousness actually is. If it is just the result of chemical reactions in the brain, there are no reasons why this same result could not be achieved artificially by a complex computer.
If consciousness is more than that, it may well be impossible.
I'm not a believer in "consciousness" or "free will". Both are most likely illusions. We have consciousness only in the form that we are aware of our actions after being forced into performing them.
