Robot rights make sense to prepare for a time when there is rough intellectual parity between humans and robots and the possibility of an adversarial relationship arises. I think it's unlikely, but still important, given the impact such a relationship would have. Giving robots human rights now would be like giving an ant human rights, but it makes sense to give rights in accordance with some measure of intelligence I think.

The fact that you know you are aware, shouldn't be even possible to begin with. What I am getting at is that I don't think there a physical explanation for it. If that is the case, then there is no reason for a robot to have rights, regardless of how human it seems.
