* Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}: Dirk has an auto-responder program that's effectively a duplicate of his brain at age 13, and a lot of conversations about him revolve around the ethics of what one does when they have what is essentially a robotic clone of themselves. Dirk encourages AR to be as active as possible, as he considers stifling something that is very much alive to be AndIMustScream. Jake initially disrespects AR, believing it to not have feelings, but AR gets significantly offended by that, claiming that it is mentally as human as Jake is, and a later scene shows that AR might have genuine romantic feelings (though he admits that they might be fake just to fuck with Dirk).
* ''[[Webcomic/VampireCheerleaders Paranormal Mystery Squad]]'' opens with the team hampered by "new regulations" against "cryptoslaughter"; even after this, Steph keeps killing cryptids willy-nilly for a little while, and the only consequence is a series of steep fines.  This despite the fact that most cryptids are clearly sapient, and for most of the standalone series, there are two on the four-person team.
