I'm of a similar opinion, -if- the bar is "when sensory affects behavior", well.....we won't be able to rule many organisms out of the "has awareness" camp. Awareness as proto-qualia would be a fairly ubiquitous trait of life, in that case...from single celled organisms on up. Now, I don't think that this actually tells us that euglena, as a group, is aware, or has mind..but I do think that it shows the manner in which we're approaching the question is lacking. That we may not be able to answer the question of awareness, of qualia, -to our satisfaction- ....if we use that metric.
(though I'm perfectly content to give euglena mind..lol, btw)
