If we invented a computer that had self awareness, advanced (superior) intelligence, and compassion, and we intentionally turned the power off, which would destroy the computer.

only if it had rights, and you cant have rights without responsibilty. i think maybe they would have to treat it like an animal, with respect an some "rights" but not as a developed human being

Nothing, listen NOTHING can have superior intelligence to the human being as truth is found by only by humans. A computer, product of human, will never compare to human, product of love. NO IT WOULD NOT BE MURDER!

well, NO. obviously, a computer isnt a living thing so by turning it off, all that would happen is that we dont get the pleasure of that all powerfull computer

Any man made thing cannot actually ever be alive, so no. The campassion, self-awareness etc. is all artifical since we made it.

It would not be murder if we can still classify it as a computer. Cybercide maybe?

To be murder it would have to
have a soul. A machine is not
alive, no matter what it mimics.

NO! A computer is an inanimate object.

Your creations are yours, to turn off or on.
if you don't value or respect your creation,and hence yourself, enough to operate it in a good manner, then that speaks wholly about you.
