The problem being that defining consciousness has been a challenge for over 2000 years. Fundamentally we are chemical computers. If we transfered a human mind to a computer does that computer have a mind, or is it a copy, or approximation of a mind?

If you press a button on a hydrolic press, the computer controls that action. Did the computer make a choice?

Is a person not simply following their programming based on all past experience and instinct?

This is a hard question to answer. One that will likely not be answered in our lifetime.
