Quote:The creator would not have automatic authority over his creation./Again being a creator does not give one the right over his creation. Especially if the creation is a sentient, rational and self-aware being.
Quote:Who says? You??? Why? Because You say so?
So according to you, Drich, if I create an artificial intelligence I can do it whatever I want, and it's never immoral. I think that most philosophers of morality would disagree with you. Sentient beings have rights simply for the fact that they're sentient. Even the (alleged) creator of those beings would have to respect these rights.
