The ethical weight of sentience has long been debated in philosophy and theology. Utilitarianism argues that moral consideration should be granted based on the ability to experience suffering and joy. However, sentience alone does not equate to consciousness, free will, or spiritual awareness. Consider this: If sentience alone grants moral weight, then do all living beings—humans, animals, even potentially AI—deserve equal ethical treatment? Or is there a higher distinction between mere experience and true personhood? From a biblical perspective, humans are more than sentient—they are made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27), endowed not just with emotions but with a soul, moral agency, and eternal significance. This sets humanity apart, even from intelligent or sentient creatures. Now, with AI advancing, some ask: 'If an AI could feel, does it deserve rights?' But the real question isn’t just feeling—it’s true self-awareness, divine purpose, and the spark of life that only God gives. So, what is the true measure of moral worth—sentience, consciousness, or something even greater?"
