The example with creating a person and then destroying it is different, because after creation it can continue to live independently from yourself. But if you create a person in your computer, that person can exist only as long as you provide the computational power for it to exist. In a way it is similar to abortion, where destroying a fetus is ok because it cannot exist on it's own, and the mother cannot be forced to provide her resources to it.
