You are not a minder reader? May I direct you to one? His name is Uncle LeRoy, he charges Two Fitty up front Tongue

Quote:That depends: if it's just mechanisms then yes, I'd say so. However, if this computer is self aware and conscious, then there's a moral dimension present that there wouldn't be for a purely material thing. If the computer is self aware, even if I made it, then the same considerations would apply to it as it would to every other living being. I don't have the right to harm my children, and I don't have the right to senselessly harm or kill any other living being past a certain level of cognizance.

Why does consciousness negate objectification? Is it because of human morality? Have you ever killed an ant or a bug? Do ants really pose such a threat that you must kill them without hesitation?

Consciousness negates immoral conduct which is true but you claim that it does this on an objective level as if it is a universal law. Why do you think that human constructed morals made to benefit humans are equally binding to God? Do you see us inflicting our morals onto animals? Do you really tell a lion to stop eating baby elephants?
