Do you mean you can have exact human external behavior replica without
consciousness ? or with a different consciousness (than a human) ?
If 1st case then if you can't find any difference between a real human and the
replica lacking consciousness how could you tell the replica is lacking
consciouness (or that the human have consciousness) ?
If the second case, I don't understand what could be a different
consciousness, could you elaborate ?
