Not as of yet, no. [ Thankfully. Still, there was a frown on Turing's face. ] But until very recently, almost all ROMs weren't sapient. While you could have a conversation with one, any answers given would simply be the result of clever programming. Now things are different. With all ROMs being sapient, it's possible that there will be people who would rather not think of them as independent beings with their own thoughts and feelings.

[ After all, hybrids were still human, but that did little to stop some from discriminating against them. It seemed reasonable to assume something similar might happen to ROMs. ]
