These are conscious beings. Imagine being trapped in a lab where the next time you wake up you might not have full motor function?
Sentient, maybe some limited level of sapience, but not conscious as far as we understand the term
'I don't understand so it doesn't exist'
I literally said "as far as we understand the term." We as humans and as we define the term. They do not have consciousness based on what we currently know, and there's very little evidence that they do based on what experiments we are able to conduct. I'm not saying they unequivocally don't, all I'm saying is as we currently understand the term they do not.
