This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

[Philosophy] Sort of, what is life? Android? Artificial? Souls?

I think of the soul as an organic, so that lets out thinking computers, no matter how advanced.

A human brain in a mechanical body would have one, since there's the organic component.

But if you eliminate self-awareness, remorse, repentance, atonement or capacity for self-sacrifice, you eliminate the soul.
