In the future we anticipate we'll have technology advanced enough that we can create full human clones (not just organs but full ones) as well as artificial intelligence in the form of computers and robots. Surely, there will come a time when clones and AI, even though they are artificially created, will have enough intelligence and self-awareness that they may be considered to have a soul.
Is it okay for us to make such creatures? Personally, I think it's okay only if we are ready to award them with the same rights and autonomy awarded to the rest of mankind, and not just limit them to being servile commodities.

PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?
