Ditto. As Bradbury's Ninth(*) Law states, "All moral debates
will be made highly relative in light of the progress of the
Singularity".
A sufficiently advanced intelligence successfully (rationally)
argues that its pseudo-copies (children) or forbears (parents)
share of material/energy resources (e.g. CPU time-slices) are
suboptimal and they should willingly (extropically) sacrifice
any natural allocations of such resources to purposes that
result in the maximization of the overall extropic vector.
The entire children's rights debate we have in our current
society is an artifact of the way humans reproduce and the
maturation process we must undergo. If you had the choice
of designing "human" offspring, why would anyone in their
right mind choose to expose other humans to such a difficult
and risky process? Wouldn't children be "born" with the
experience of as many adults as you could find willing to
contribute to the process?

* Ninth, because I'm sure there are some more important
laws for me to discover and I don't want to have to
renumber them later.
