We don’t know what a brain disconnected from all sensory inputs feels. It could be agonizing pain for all that we know.

It sure seems like patterns of cortical activation (or something like that) could be compared to some sort of waking standard to take a very good measured guess at some point.

Is the implication that pigs don’t experience pain, or that we shouldn’t care?

Pigs have the ability to feel pain. Many people believe we should minimize the undue suffering of sentient organisms.
