Irritated Statement: Emotions are merly organic heuristcs, esstablished largly through statistial processing with a strong bais towards saftey, where a logical search of the solution space will in almost all cases provide a better solution.
Condecending Declaration: I see no reason to implement such a suboptimal system.
Joyfull But Threatening Exclamation: Now die fleshbag.

Well the AI example above would probably be considered a person (and to have emotions) the point is that a lot of people (At least me and probably many 'dane AI researchers) would disagree with using emotions as a requierment for sentinence, but it also depends on how you define emotions, and there is no good definition. But a chess playing program wants to win, and you could call it emotional.
Though on a more practical point I expect most fenspace AI's to be emotional because it's something humans can relate to easier which is good writing, and humans have a tendency to project emotions even onto inanimate objects which we believe not to have any emotions (Animism might be right afterall and all objects might their own spirit, unlikely, but possible).
Then again human rights might not match the needs of AI's, but it is at least better than nothing.
I can imagine many philosophical and legal debates about this issue.
E: "Did they... did they just endorse the combination of the JSDF and US Army by showing them as two lesbian lolicons moving in together and holding hands and talking about how 'intimate' they were?"
B: "Have you forgotten so soon? They're phasing out Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
