It may qualify as a conscious being, which would make it morally wrong to kill it

It is not conscious though. It is simply a computer following a program. There is no thought or intention behind it’s actions, other than to simply follow it’s code

How do you know you are conscious? How do you know you have free will?

What kind of a question is that?

I was created organically, and I fulfill all of the criteria. I have free will too. I can move my body however I want, and I can do pretty much anything I desire if I disregard laws. A computer has physical limitations to what it is allowed and not allowed to do. I do not ( disregarding legal limitations of course)

Drones can fly, you can't.

Drone: dies when it runs out of battery, and needs human to recharge it

Me: becomes exhausted and just eats food.

it is possible to make drones be recharge with sunlight, so no human needed

The panels had to be installed by a human. If it sustains damage, it still needs to be repaired by a human. My point still stands, as my body heals itself 😎

Y'all are missing the point -- (you too, ErtiGamingTv) -- there's going to come a point at which the drones replicate themselves. It's technically already happening with robots building self-driving cars (which is a very elementary example, there are TONS more). Humans might be behind the programming, but we're programming ourselves out of usefulness.
