When that happens, one might as well call us god, as we will be the creator of a new lifeform. Perhaps it is simply a mechanical imitation of life, but if it is self aware, concerned with self preservation, and able to reproduce itself... It may as well be called 'life'.
As that life's god, we can and will grant it whatever rights we deem fit and take them away as we wish. Afterall, if the stories of the Christian god tell us anything, it's that gods get to be dicks.
