From: David Sher <sher> In general most questions about souls don't seem to be (to me anyway) particularly relevant to judaism which is a religion of life. But if the question is phrased this way: In the law, (if I got it right) a person is jewish if he/she had a jewish mother and did not convert. So lets say that a jewish woman wrote a computer program so sophisticated that it was considered to be a person. Is the program thus jewish? -David

These questions are so irrelevant, because even with all the AI in the world, only G-D, can make a man. If I train a monkey is he Jewish?!

Funny, I've never seen God make a man. They all seem to come from women. Where did you get your theory? Mine is from observation, and besides, my Rabbi said so. -- yba%mit-heracles@mit-mc.ARPA UUCP: decvax!mit-athena!yba
