Is it possible that a non-conscious zombie exists that behaves exactly like a human, but is of a different design than a human, i.e. it is explicitly designed to behave like a human without being conscious (and is also explicitly designed to talk about consciousness, write philosophy papers, etc). What would be the moral status of such a creature?
