Do you think it is OK for F or a brain mdoel to experience pain? As long as it is not you who is feeling the pain, it is moral acceptable? Is that what you are saying?
Well no, of course not! (assuming a brain model does experience pain)
I'm just saying if this theoretical "virtual hell" does really happen, it will be a computer hell, not a human hell.
Although I don't actually think a computer simulating a brain model will have consciousness. However complex that simulation is, it's nothing more than electrons flowing through a circuit, and this flow has no intrinsic meaning; I have no reason to believe consciousness can arise from such a thing.
He's only saying that a copy of a brain would create a separate entity, and that separate entities won't share experiences. Like how identical twins have different experiences. There were no claims about morality of using brain models for testing.
