 An actual ambiguous case and one that's like...50/50, I'd say. It is not clear who was/wasn't a machine in [[lb:Screamers]] and, even for those where it's confirmed...we don't actually know how conscious those machines are...technically.
-The main exception is the protagonist's one-night-stand, who definitely has a moral code...which implies a soul of some kind. Or at least the capacity to gain empathy.

It's possible that she didn't save him out of a moral code, but as a means of tricking him into <mark spoiler>taking the teddy bear with him away from the planet</mark>. That's assuming she knew that though.))
 There is something else to point out, which is that these machines evolved deception...somehow. Though it's also questionable whether the screamers started out as simple or whether they started out as complex. There's evidence suggesting either possibility.
