I'm not even sure they have a gender or sex. they're more like crystal golems if I remember right. Would I akin them to dolls? possibly like an animated barbie is made in the image of a woman but it cant sexually procreate.
They're similar to the poppet race from pathfinder, waking dolls or automatons that have a spark of life. They qualify for person hood for sure. That's not really debatable. If compared to poppets I'd agree its really close.
I'm not even certain if they know how more of them spawn it doesn't seem to be an intentional act by any of the characters which is also very poppet like.

This highlights that segregating church FROM state isn't good-enough:
segregating political-machiavellianism & ideological-machiavellianism FROM governing is a survival-requirement, for our species.

Is Pedro Pascal, one of the most vocal progressive celebrities, the victim of a social media smear campaign, and if so, why? Pascal, who has criticized Hollywood's "passivity" over Gaza, spoken out in support of trans rights and called JK Rowling a "heinous loser," is facing viral accusations on X and on some news websites that he has been groping women. Some of these rumors are based on faked videos and an interview that he never gave, despite it being cited by Google's AI summaries. "The basis of the allegations against Pascal isn’t true, and none of the women he’s been accused of groping have said so themselves," writes Kat Tenbarge, for her Spitfire News newsletter. "What’s happening to Pascal across these viral posts is a smear campaign, one spearheaded by bigots against a celebrity whose inclusive stance directly challenges their beliefs." Here's more.
