I guess I didn't quite explain properly.

I think that the question of conscience is actually not really relevant in the context of the problems it gets brought up in.

Like morality or artificial intelligence. In these contexts whether something is conscious or not doesn't really have a practical application nor should it be the moral guide for the way we react to things.

I would still believe in not "hurting" "unconcious" things even though the logic would assert that it was okay to do this. And I believe others would struggle with the same.
