Is it real, or is it a Replicant?

*Yawn* Call me when they can make one that looks like Sean Young. ;)

If the Japanese made her, I'm sure that she's anatomically correct. ;)

Professor Ishiguro believes that it may prove possible to build an android that could pass for a human, if only for a brief period.

"An android could get away with it for a short time, 5-10 seconds. However, if we carefully select the situation, we could extend that, to perhaps 10 minutes," he said.

"More importantly, we have found that people forget she is an android while interacting with her. Consciously, it is easy to see that she is an android, but unconsciously, we react to the android as if she were a woman."


10 minutes?  It seems the good doctor is a little quick on the trigger, but this is more proof of his motive for building his android!  Now, can he get his mother to forget that Repliee Q1 is an android for an entire Sunday dinner?
