While you're away I'll leave you with this final thought. A toy furby will look at you, shake up and down, and tell you it loves you. These are all behaviors indicative of consciousness and empathy in humans. Would you not strongly insist that these observations are insufficient to know the furby is conscious?
Would you not strongly comprehend WHY those behaviors in a furby aren't equivalent to, say, a female chimp risking her life to protect her closest female associate from an aggressive male?
