How about this wild scenario:

AI gets to near-human level. We put them into organic-lined robots that feel / act somewhat human. 

You and your spouse have a hard time conceiving and you decide on an AI “child”. 

One day you are all walking together and some asshole comes from nearby and shoves your “kid” in front of a bus. 

Destruction of property? Maybe just get a new one? What if you were emotionally attached to it? But it has no rights to “live”. Assholes just pays some damages for destroying property.

Thoughts?

Still treat it like property, get a new one, re-upload, start again?
