Yes, Indomitable, I think that you are right in the fact that we should never create a sentient machine, as it would be unbelievably dangerous (even though it would be amazing and beyond anything else humans have ever achieved, but it still reminds me of the story of the Tower of Babylon), but say, hypothetically we will, then would we give it rights? I personally think that we should, as it most likely will want to protect itself and have liberty, as all living things do (unless we program it with absolutely no instincts whatsoever, and who knows how it will behave in that case). And, does it not matter if a living thing was made of flesh or metal? In the end, it doesn't.

Oh, and you can't "upload your brain onto a computer" (how would that work? The brain is a physical thing). You can possibly make a very good copy of your personality, but it would be immeasurably hard, as you probably don't know everything about yourself, nor how to put it into code.
