The Offspring: Robotic Reproduction and Rights to a Parental Role

Commander Data, an android, uses his technological skills to acquire knowledge to create a new android, his daughter Lal, in his own image without human help or oversight. He then guides Lal through the process of incorporating into the human world through means such as allowing her to choose her own gender and appearance, teaching her about laughter, and warning about human perception of difference. Ultimately, when he is asked to turn his daughter over to Star Fleet, he refuses on the grounds that it is his obligation as Lal’s parent to help her mature and acclimate to society, and captain Picard agrees that Lal is no one’s property but rather Data’s own child.
