So a genetic evolutionary algorithm on a computer is alive? Many would not agree with that. You can add the qualifier that it needs to reproduce by itself but then viruses don’t qualify.
In the same sense, an uploaded human mind would not be alive and have no rights, assuming this is technically feasible. A torment nexus would then just be fine. Maybe pseudo-life must be a thing.
