Should Artificial Intelligences Be Given Civil Rights?

I read the following paragraph on #-Link-Snipped-#

Kurzweil thinks that human-level AI won’t be around for 20 years or so. Others are more conservative, a few think it could be here in the next decade. Whenever you think an artificial intelligence will match your own intellect, what should we do with it as it arrives? Are these things just machines that we can use however we want? If they do have civil rights, should they have the same rights as humans? Can they own stuff? Can they vote? Better for us to figure this out before they actually show up. As most parents will tell you, it’s really helpful to have the baby crib built before the baby arrives.
I was really amazed by this thought and thought this calls for a discussion. What's your opinion?

    I am an avid SciFi reader. Isaac Asimov is an all time favourite of mine. His Bicentennial Man was a great novelette. The movie was also good with Robin Williams in the lead role.

    Bicentennial Man (1999) - IMDb

    The robot acquires emotions. In the last scene he is administered the Oath of Allegiance and becomes a US citizen.

    When biological nitwits can be citizens, why not intelligent machines?

    No, civilian rights cannot be given to an artificial being. It's against the law of nature. Artificial Intelligence should be used only to easy the human life in future. It should not cause major changes in human evolution and thinking.
