This is a very interesting problem. On one hand, you're right that computers don't have emotions. On the other hand, humans only have emotions because of a very complex thought process. Really--we are no different than Watson. We're both machines (we're far more sophisticated however).

It's not crazy to think computers will someday surpass us in thinking. It will be the dawn of a new age where we build machines assist us in thinking.

Silicon and cells aren't the same thing, but from a scientific standpoint theres no reason we can't replicate what nature has done.
