Apparently medical doctors considered that babies younger than 15 months, didn't need anesthetics until 1986 [1]. This is an example of how they treated human beings different, when they thought they have a lower level experience (they considered that babies didn't feel pain). Watching the advance in AI, we should depart from a substance based approach and move to an experience based, it doesn't matter if your molecules form DNA or semiconductors (or future stuff), if this hypothetical being has "an experience", it should be treated accordingly. We should treat all (including animals and other being) kindly, and if we can prove they don't have an experience, treat them as a rock/metal. 1: https://www.nytimes.com/1987/12/17/opinion/l-why-infant-surgery-without-anesthesia-went-unchallenged-832387.html https://www.nytimes.com/1987/12/17/opinion/l-why-infant-surg...
