Hmm.. Does this mean we shouldn't make an attempt at AI, until we have a 
'living, breathing' (so to speak!) Artificial Lifeform?  I always thought 
that A-life necessarily includes AI, and AI necessarily encompasses 
A-life - not that the terms are interchangeable, but that they each 
include the other and neither is possible on its own.  What do you think?
