Brain death means that they're not "alive" anymore.

The Nomus are proven to not be conscious beings, as a police analysis showed. They're pretty much puppets that can even be programmed to follow certain orders given by certain people.

They're probably beyond human rights at this point. There's a reason they're considered artificial. No better than robots, really.
