    Sentient
    -able to perceive or feel things

    I guess we need to look more closely at the definition. Are insects sentient? Do the feel or perceive or even think? Or are the just reacting to pre-set instructions or a program if you will? What about jellyfish or amoebas or worms? Are they sentient?

    Maybe the issue is life itself and what being alive means, I suppose that until machines can self replicate, no matter how intelligent or even sentient they seem they will never be on the same level as even an amoeba until they reproduce.
