   i have another conundrum.  would an AI have emotions?  intelligence without   
   emotion would create a totally different identity.   
      
   and without emotions, would they really be able to reason?  i mean, how   
   would they moralise things?  what values would they put on human life,   
   animal life etc.  would this all have to be programmed?
