Right...but a child has a consciousness also.

This feels to me like a malfunction of the liberal mind...extreme individualism.

My simple question would be how much "your" consciousness really is 'yours'...especially if it is reduced to a computer program.

Identical twins do have distinct consciousness of course.

To me...it seems like if you admit that your consciousness can be removed from the body and reproduced on a computer...then you are forced to admit that nothing is special about consciousness. And indeed what even are 'you'?

Consciousness can be difficult to define in context like this. It isn't just about being aware, plants are also aware. Basically, any lifeform that isn't dead can fit inside the definition of consciousness in one way or another. I think their thesis is based on the subject's behavioral patterns. From there, the AI would make predictions on how the subject would think in a given scenario.
