If they are self-aware they are people whether the platform they run on is biological or mechanical.

(Not to mention marriage!)

Ours will be a perfect child caught in a freezeframe. Always loving, never ill, never changing. With all the childless couples yearning in vain for a license our Mecha will not only open up a new market but fill a great human need.

I guess I should have assumed that an illusion of a boy, and a boy that
came from a union of a man and woman, would be regarded as the same
at imminst.

It looks like I'm right, you could destroy any non-human intelligence without remorse by using your
religion to prove they were without value. You could probably even destroy a clone.
If a being thought and felt it would be a person - a non-human person.
Your arrogance is breathtaking. If human beings create non-human intelligence how do you know
it isn't your God's plan? How can you claim to know the mind of God? If you believe that male humans
are made in God's image, is that image not the image of a creator, one who creates? It's what we've
done since we became self-aware - we've created.
