Artificial brains will blur lines between man and robot, warns expert | Mail Online: "Imagine this scenario: hundreds of years in the future it becomes possible to create an exact replica of any human brain on Earth. How should the copy be treated? Should scientists be allowed to experiment on it and, ultimately, put it down if it is no longer needed?

In the 2006 movie The Prestige a magician called Robert Angier, played by Hugh Jackman, discovers a machine that can create an exact clone of himself (pictured).

These are questions tackled by Dr Anders Sandberg of the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford University - and he warns there are no easy answers."
