introduce to congress legislation granting basic human rights to androids and cyborgs to avoid potential persecution.

It is clear that this question has not entered the political arena, and I fear that it will only be asked long after technology has reached a point where we can create Intelligent beings. In the past such discrimination has led to genocide and holocaust. We must address this issue beforehand. There is a fork in history that we are approaching much faster than we had anticipated. Will we be remembered as accepting and loving to this newly created life form, or will we be remembered as a stain on history similar to the Nazis? We make that choice now, or, as history shows, it will be made for us.
