Default Re: Will machines ever "feel" pain?

I don't mean acting as if they did, but actually feeling the sensation of pain?
to a machine there would be no difference between being programmed to feel pain and actually feeling pain, any more than we truly feel pain, its our "sensors" telling us to feel pain in order to respond in a certain way for self preservation, and a machine thats designed to feel pain and act the same way would be no different.
