Life should not care about its form of existence. All lives are worthy of respect!

When computers are endowed with human feelings and thinking, they will also be expected to be respected. Agree!

Furthermore, how do I feel that this is to elaborate a more difficult-to-understand philosophical question, "What exactly is a higher life?"
Compared with animals, humans are higher beings, because people can think.
Nahal has the same way of thinking as humans and has a higher level of intelligence than humans, so should it also belong to the category of higher life?
Some people may say that he has no body and cannot be counted as life, but it has human thoughts and feelings. It can only be said that the carrier of life is different, and it is a bunch of machine parts that carry its thoughts.
Dave becomes a higher life form, detached from the physical and purely spiritual existence. He used to be a human being with a physical existence, but if he is more advanced, he is separated from the physical body, leaving only the spiritual existence. Does that mean that spiritual thoughts are considered higher life, which is very different from the system we used to judge what life or higher life is.
