Allow me, if you will, to take us years into the future (assuming humanity doesn't kill itself first). Humanity has been able to build androids.
Some are used for physical or dangerous work, others for service, other's still for 'personal use' (ew). They must be programmed to do their tasks.
What about 'care giving'.
To do so, humanity decides we have to program 'morality' into them, as morality is programmed into humans all the time - seems like a doable task.
For discussion:
Will humanity ever be able to program morality into a machine?
Why or why not?

Okay, since we are talking about impasse, here is my bottom line: Replicating a human brain neuron by neuron is merely a technical challenge, it is achievable in principle. Such a replica would then be a man made machine capable of addressing any problem a human can. Whether such problems include non-computable problems or not is a different matter all together.
