You have a list of things of decreasing consciousness. So the question is, what makes a dog more conscious than a worm? And can we make a computer with more of that same property?

But before you work that out you need to define what you mean by 'more conscious'....

Yeah, that's what this research is for. If we knew what consciousness was exactly, we could build it already.
