I recommend going to a White Stripes concert to anyone who enjoys their music, because their audience is the strangest blend of people I've ever seen, all of whom are stoned out of their minds by the end of the show.

You've got old-time cowboys who enjoy their twangy country angle, hipsters, soccer moms and children who enjoy the fact that they're on MTV, potheads, etc etc, the list goes on and on. Pretty much any type of person at any age can be found there. All stoned.

Plus, they put on an amazing show. But that's besides the point.

Are these guys the White Stripes of the double-00's? Garage revival may be the only way to save Rock n' Roll....I voted cause you begged rasch, these guys are pretty uninspiring.

Almonildo:
So here's where it gets muddy. Let's take your scenario of the entirely computerized brain, instead, this time, it's a COPY of an existing person's brain, rather than the end result of a sequential replacement of our unfortunate subject.
Would it be a crime, murder, to disconnect the power from that computer, or to destroy it?
I don't see it the same way, either - to assume the computer simulation would possess awareness. I don't know that would be a given. Possible - but not a given. (And I admittedly lean toward "doubtful".)
Taken further - a computer that simulates an "uninitiated" brain. Would it "develop" awareness? Would it behave differently if given the same sensory inputs? And how would we know? (Currently, we couldn't.)

The problem I have is that it doesn't make sense for it all to be correlated physically. Each individual cell fires or doesn't. An impulse is propagated or it isn't. The co-location of function ends at the macro level of "in the brain" or "in this area of the brain". Beyond that, the physical behavior of the brain is dispersed into individual cells. Awareness is obviously a product of many simultaneous stimuli which are never physically co-incident.

Here's another one: You propose that you can tell you're aware, but you cannot be sure of those around you. They act like they're aware, but it's impossible (so far, anyway) to say for certain. I can see two ways of looking at this.
One is to presume awareness because, as you say, you see no reason not to. To me that's like saying, "I have a 1'x1' black box with a white stripe. It contains duck trousers. Other black boxes must contain duck trousers because they also have white stripes."
Another way is to say that it suggests intuitively that awareness is distinct from behavior. We can't be certain anyone else is "aware" because the physical existence by itself isn't proof enough.

Another avenue that I might want to investigate further is lobotomies. Is it possible a lobotomized patient has been stripped of their awareness? I don't know enough about it to formulate a informed opinion on the subject. (In fact, the previous question might be terribly offensive to the lobotomized!)
