It may not be The West that does it, it may be some rogue corporation who starts turning out laborers to run factories in a third world craphole. If they get there first, they will be positioned to set the standard by which these constructs are measured. If they are created as slaves, thats the way the will be treated.
If we allow someone else to spearhead the great gene rush, they will set the standard by which all living artifacts are judged. We have to get ahead of that and set a standard that requires anything created by man in the humaniform to be given the rights and protections extended to born in the womb humans.
If we do that, we may avoid being cursed by our constructs as Lucifer’s minions. If we fail to act early enough, I think your statement about us becoming The Devil will be close to the mark.
If we do that, we may avoid being cursed by our constructs as Lucifers minions.
And that excellent observation is the point I wanted to make.
