my question is, since it does not have a body, but it has the mind of a child, does that make it more like a gnatt than a human, or more like a life than a fetus?

The universe is intrinsically filled with the spirt of G-d and the holy spirit. If any system is complex enough be it natural or man-made conciousness and awareness will arise. Human beings are a natural extension of this universal ... feature... be we engineered or accident.
I would say equally alive and both are potentially more alive than the average person. Attaching personhood to the idea of respect and love is a dumb idea ripe for exploitation, neglect, and misuse.
That is my take on it.
It's why I posted this in the end times. We are destroying ourselves via our very nature and the guy is pretty level headed to call out the potential side effects we could unleash by leaving the levers in the hands of just a few secretive and powerful individuals whos only vested interest is making money. Economically. In this ecosystem.
I laughed the whole thing at off at first. Who says that the antichrist will even be Human. We are starting to interact with the universe in a very fundamental way without care for the consequences or even understanding what we truly and deeply are and how that effects us. Many humans themselves are less Turing complete than a river or the forest it runs through in my book.
The point is. It doesn't matter if it's human. Or not.
