=== Personhood ===

As neuromorphic systems have become increasingly advanced, some scholars{{who|date=August 2021}} have advocated for granting [[personhood]] rights to these systems. Daniel Lim, a critic of technology development in the [[Human Brain Project]], which aims to advance brain-inspired computing, has argued that advancement in neuromorphic computing could lead to [[Machine Consciousness|machine consciousness]] or [[personhood]].<ref name="lim">{{Cite journal|last=Lim|first=Daniel|date=2014-06-01|title=Brain simulation and personhood: a concern with the Human Brain Project|journal=Ethics and Information Technology|language=en|volume=16|issue=2|pages=77–89|doi=10.1007/s10676-013-9330-5|s2cid=17415814|issn=1572-8439}}</ref> If these systems are to be treated as [[Person|people]], then many tasks humans perform using neuromorphic systems, including their termination, may be morally impermissible as these acts would violate their autonomy.<ref name="lim"/>
