Currently, "can we" is indeed a question. It is followed by the question, "Oh dear God in Heaven, why would you do that!?". I mean, seriously, there are large numbers of computer security breaches each week. Now what are you going to do if those computers are substrate for people? Hell, it's even worse if they're running people using cloud computing: one attack on a datacenter could let you obtain root access to dozens or hundreds of living human minds.
And then we have to decide on scheduling and resource-sharing algorithms. Oy gevalt.
Though actually, trying to devise a secure system architecture for running real people would be a hilariously evil joke-project.
