Blue Brain: A thinking computer?

Blueprinting the human brain

Research has already started on a computer simulation of a human brain. What will happen when this is completed? A computer running through the motions... just so happens to create what we would call a thought? If the computer is truly running an accurate simulation of every cell in the human brain, then another way of looking at this is that the computer is thinking like a human. Would emotions manifest in the data? Happiness? Love? More possibly threateningly, greed? Ambition? Would it have a soul? (Or is a soul something more than what can be contained by a number of brain cells?)

Hmmm perhaps I should bite my tongue. It's only a matter of time until they would hook it up to the internet and it could find my blog...
