I hope that never happens. However someday it will be a reality.

There was an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation that brought up this topic. It was in which a scientist wished to reverse engineer the technology that made up the AI android Data in hopes of one day being able to replicate it. However, in doing so, it could leave him potentially non-functional. He hoped to avoid it but at the time he was considered property with no rights. However, Captain Picard chose to challenge this ruling and fight for his right to say no and be recognized as a sentient being. A very well written episode that explored this topic fairly well.

We elected a jerk with little intelligence to "lead" us so thinking a thing with a lot of intelligence could become a person isn't much of a leap. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
