Philosophical dualism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dualism_(philosophy_of_mind) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dualism_(philosophy_of_mind)) is a mistake at the core of most religions. Making a human brain would contribute much to destroying the concept of the mind as something separate from the brain, rather than the mind as something the brain does.

Apropos dualism: Did you thought about how artificial intelligence might end the dualism in economic theory: I.e. that one has to account for labour and capital as completely separate factors of production? (I am ignoring land etc here for the sake of simplicity.)
