Sure Mero.
But if it was not as sophisticated as a human being and operated on the level of a lesser intellegent species would you want it living on its own driving a car around.
Neither of us know how intellegent this human like creature would be. We dont even have a reliable science to clone such a thing yet. We have no clue how healthy of a life it can lead.
There are so many questions. To say we can only do this if we grant it the rights of any human is unrealistic. In time you may prove to be right. It would take years of observing and studying behavior though.
