You can't currently create a human being via the old-fashioned method and (legally, in post places) force them to be any of those things.

There's no reason creating a human being via a new method should suddenly flip the rules and allow it.



Wha?! Because, religion! They are abominations!

Not really, but in history children born out of wedlock were freely discriminated against, assumed to be subhuman and criminal, and killed without repercussion.

It would be reasonable, extrapolating from (recent) history, to assume artificial humans would instantly be put in that category.
