I certainly do not think it is impossible. I've often mentioned that it should be eventually possible to build an android whose behaviour in practice (including everything it says) is indistinguishable from a human being's. Just like we'll be eventually be able to create a chess program where we cannot tell that it is a computer playing (we can tell now, computers play in a particular characteristic way).
