Yes, I am merely pointing out my beleif that consciousness arrises from complexity, which can either be so called natural or made by man.  The anology you give, however is not quite inline to the meaning of artificial complexity  I am considering in my own mind. Creating DNA, and then fusing it with a stem cell, as in genetic engineering would still be using biological complexities to actually create the organism and also the consciousness of that organism.   I was refering to  consciousness that could arrise from systems  created by human technology alone.  In other words, I don&#39;t think consciousness needs flesh and blood to emerge.  I think it can emerge with complexities introduced by human creations, similar in conception with today&#39;s computers.  Furthermore, I also find it difficult to even distinguish the difference between biological resultant complexitiesand &quot;man-made&quot; resultant complexities.   It is traditional to consider humans as separete from nature,  but I think that perception is hindering if an understanding of what consciousness really is demands our attention.
