What would be the point, even if it were technically possible, of building machines that are outwardly indistinguishable from human beings?
Asking a question like this is not a good sign, I fear. Complaining people, who tend to reject any hypothesis outside the ordinary, ask themselves such questions. Recently, unfortunately, I asked myself the same question; it was a fleeting thought, but it was there.

As is well known, there is a vast literature on androids, replicants and the like, but even if one wanted to ignore it, it would be easy to imagine possible uses for such machines – assuming they are ever built, of course.
