Eunice... You know me well enough that this is something that I for one would believe to be impossible but it's a point worth thinking about. Shall we consider that in our studies of how the human body works and if by some miracle we were able to advance our knowledge so much that we were able to reproduce exactly those chemical processes that happen within our body - so much so that it would indistinguishable from man, is this creation man or robot? If our emotions and our irrational abilities were able to reproduced, would our creation no longer be considered a robot simply from the fact that we were able to give something akin to free choice? Wherein lies the essence of being human?
