I hope so but I am not convinced that this will be so easy in the distant future. I bet you will have great difficulty being sure about the species in less than 100 years of development.
Hey, by the way the new generations are changing, I am not sure what regular people will look like by then!

If the human brain can be effectively duplicated with electronics it will become impossible to tell the difference between an android with one and a normal person without difficulty. Really? Can you tell the difference between Charlize Theron and a Mars rover? If you were an android, you might get confused; but evolution allows us to know and appreciate Charlize theron when we see her. Trust your multi-trillion-cell nervous system: it will steer you right, and it will take a lot more to confuse us than an artificial brain, even with the deluxe super-duper-titaniumx skeleton with vat-grown skin and patented fuck-me facial contortions and lower-body gyrations.
