We can't have a meaningful discussion if you are misrepresenting my argument.

a biological brain is necessary for conscious as defined in your original post.

What have I misrepresented?

I asked you, "But how do you know other humans and animals have consciousness? What proof do you have of this that cannot also be applied to a robot?"

You answered, "Because every human, when presented with the question of "do you exist" responds in the same affirmative manner."

And I responded, "Computers can do that today", which is true. They can answer in an affirmative manner to the question, "do you exist"

Moreover, some humans are actually incapable of responding in the affirmative manner to the question "do you exist". Would you say they don't deserve rights

How does the definition in my post necessiate a biological brain?
