I suppose in answer to the original question... The more we associate with any mechanism, organic or otherwise, the more we are going to assign it human traits, so eventually we probably will see robots as people. Animals deserve respect as themselves. Apart from moths, which are neither use nor ornament, mess your visor up and taste foul. And will walk/fly into fire. Evidence of non-intelligent design if ever there was.Devil

Wait till you encounter kangaroos.

They make sheep look smart.
