These are conscious beings. Imagine being trapped in a lab where the next time you wake up you might not have full motor function?

Don’t worry, in a few years, it’ll be humans who can barely make rent on their coffin apartments.
That’s heartbreaking. Imagine being trapped in a experimentation room with no escape. Everday’s just hell.
i hate that i can read this
I question the humanity of anyone who can read that and not be upset.
You can always switch your phone to airplane mode.
Sentient, maybe some limited level of sapience, but not conscious as far as we understand the term

I literally said “as far as we understand the term.” Sentience, sapience, and consciousness are not interchangable terms; they have vastly different meanings.
We as humans and as we have defined the terms do not label any other species as conscious as we currently understand the term. Consciousness is currently a uniquely human trait. It’s not my decision, it’s just what we know and how we’ve labeled things.
‘I don’t understand so it doesn’t exist’
I literally said “as far as we understand the term.” We as humans and as we define the term. They do not have consciousness based on what we currently know, and there’s very little evidence that they do based on what experiments we are able to conduct. I’m not saying they unequivocally don’t, all I’m saying is as we currently understand the term they do not.
