That's the thing. Nobody's sure. When the Cyberbenny 3000 comes out, with all the mannerisms and behaviors of the real thing, which seems to really experience and interact sensibly to the universe-- what's to be said? Does the Cyberbenny get legal privileges? Does it have duties? Does it get to demand that the government make clones for it to love and train? Can it be arbitrarily turned off or modified?

Will it be capable of truly moral behavior if it doesn't have the same brain / hormonal mechanisms that people do?
