SENTIENCE AND MORAL STATUS
Under what conditions does a creature matter morally?
Do only conscious beings matter? If so, what sort of
consciousness is required? The popular “sentientist” view
holds that the capacity for positively and negatively
valenced experiences, such as pleasure and suffering, is
required for moral status. I will investigate this matter
using some thought experiments involving zombies,
Vulcans, and the trolley problem.
