That's the truth! But to be fair, most of it was paid by my insurance.

Why not? The real question is "do we have the right to switch it
off?"
If you switch it off, it just continues in another branch of the
multiverse. So how are you going to decide whether it's better or
worse to
switch it off? And if we give it political rights, what will be the
punishment for violating them by switching it off?...switching it
back on?
To be fair, it should be whatever punishment is fair for knocking you
out with
chloroform and then placing you in a medically induced coma for some
unspecified time period.
Assuming you saved its state when you turned it off and restored it
afterwards (so
it might lose short term memory which is exactly equivalent to knocking
someone out).
Otherwise it's murder.
Last time that happened to me the "punishement" was that I had to pay about
$10,000
to the guy who did it.
