I think we need to agree that the human consciousness is more than chemicals and electrical signals. Edit: assuming that we can simulate thoso chemical and electrical pulses in a brain-like machine, I think it is logical to say that machine won't have a self awareness because of said pulses. 

Why would anyone in their right mind agree with this?

Because other beings like animals also have brains with said chemicals and electrical signals. But they lack the consciousness of humans.
