What astounds me is the sheer arrogance of it. The assumption that only humans can be imbued with consciousness, because of... what, exactly? Self-reflection and the rejection of the scientific method?

I'm pretty sure there's many species with consciousness. Of course the discussion of consciousness in general is one big mess, imho. :-/

Animals are conscious, this isn't even debatable.

Point a weapon at an animal (for example, please don't really) and you'll immediately witness its self-awareness and some how even know that you're pointing a weapon at it.
