Lines: 11 From: David SherIn general most questions about souls don't seem to be (to me anyway) particularly relevant to judaism which is a religion of life. But if the question is phrased this way: In the law, (if I got it right) a person is jewish if he/she had a jewish mother and did not convert. So lets say that a jewish woman wrote a computer program so sophisticated that it was considered to be a person. Is the program thus jewish? -David
