I'm not sure it is completely different. Unless you think the Chief God me is personally deciding who hooks up with who and personally controlling every single cell that divides and multiplies in every single fetus, then by the same token I don't "create" individual humans. I just designed the first two, and then designed the natural laws by which new humans come about.

Although that being said I'd bite Kaerdron's bullet from the other end and say that yes, the old Roman custom of patria potestas was great and parents should continue to legally own their adult children. Maybe that'd stop 'em fucking up so much. Imagine that in that artificial computer world the artificial intelligences can also reproduce. The important think is that you set up the initial process.
