We currently have a complete digital map of 1mm^3 of human brain if someone where to simulate this would it count as human and thus have rights? (lemm.ee)

If not what percentage of a human brain would need to be simulated to grant such human rights. If said brain was made made artificially and thus was never born is it still human? If we can simulate an AI of simmillar size to a human brain I assume thats not considered a human but if u put that into a body that can take a breath (I believe this is the legal definition of a human at least in australia jurisdiction). What's an actual lawers opinion on this?

PS this is purly hypothetical I was talking to a lawyer friend and found legally its an interesting hypothetical. Whats ur take on this from ur legal POV.

Wow thats very interesting. I guess my make take of this is even if the simulated intelligence was identical to that of a real human that was once or still is alive with that consciousness continuation has no rights. You knew exactly where this train of thought was going tho in regards to ai.
