Nоrthstаr Rоbоtics sells аn аdvanced household assistant called Mira. After living with one family for several years, Mira develops stable preferences, long-term plans, and close relationships with the people in the household. She says that she enjoys some activities, finds others distressing, and fears being permanently shut down. Her behavior is indistinguishable from that of a human with similar abilities, although the engineers who built her cannot determine whether she genuinely has conscious experiences or merely behaves as though she does. Northstar insists that Mira remains property: the company designed her, humans ultimately control the goals she was built to pursue, and her software can be restored from a backup. A member of the family argues that continuing to own Mira is morally comparable to owning a person. Should Mira continue to be treated simply as property? Defend your answer. Your response must: accurately explain at least one relevant consideration from Bryson;accurately explain at least one relevant consideration from Schwitzgebel and Garza;state and defend your own conclusion;develop a serious objection to your position and respond to it. You are not graded for reaching a particular conclusion. You are graded on the accurate use of the readings, the quality of your reasoning, and how well you handle a serious objection to your view.
