@rwinners: zero, the being need merely identify itself as human. The non-biological beings we will create as our eventual replacements in the solar system will be no less human than ourselves, just as we are no less primates than our more primitive cousins.
I see lots of issues. I have a hard time seeing society accept a fully manufactured being as human.Why should it? Humans are fast becoming obsolete. Machines will soon surpass them in every identifiable way. Even as simulating human-ness.
There will be lots of rejection, perhaps based upon religionReligion will be dead by then so dont worry.
