[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, I think some rights. No torture, for example. I am concerned about cloned consciousnesses being mistreated.  Made to work long hours on menial tasks, etc. [/quote]

How do you torture a non-living machine?  [/quote]

Psychological torture.

This is sentience. That means a machine would feel pain, sorry, grief, anger, etc.  [/quote]

Emotions are created in the body.  Sentience, especially for an AI, doesn't necessarily mean emotion.  [/quote]

So you know for a fact that what defines emotions have to do with organic matter and biochemical reactions.  This sounds like prejudice based on what kind of molecules something is made out of.[/quote]

What other physical mechanism is there to be the physical basis of emotion?[/quote]

It's called movement of electrons.

That's all chemical reactions are in living organic organisms.

You don't need to be made out of organic matter though in order to have flow of electrons and sub atomic particles.  Electrons also move on silicon wafers and in copper wires.[/quote]

Can you explain which motions of electrons correspond to which emotions and why?[/quote]
