Yes, I do know that, because I know that pain reception requires nociceptors [1].
In fact all bodily sensory information requires a periphery of sensory neurons. The central nervous system itself, is simply incapable to collect sensory information on its own.
And our complex emotional lives are the result of a developmental process that involves pathway selection by usage patterns.
None of these things are present in a lump of cells in a growth medium.
