OVERVIEW

This question examines ethical inclusion. The boundaries of moral concern may exclude beings whose form or capacities differ from familiar examples. Its surrounding discussion also concerns conscious experience: the discussion depends on how experience is attributed to beings whose internal states may be inaccessible.

The analytical issue is how these conditions affect consent, exposure to harm, unequal treatment, and the scope of moral protection. The node treats the potential dysfunction as an open problem: its identification does not demonstrate that the anticipated outcome will occur or that an assumed technology is feasible.
