Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

Why even care whats a person and whats not? In the end everything is just complex Carbon compounds, Some minerals, some Amino acids, Hydrogen and Oxygen.

Why care? Also, what is Consciousness? Its not scientifically Measurable, and some even say its a concept and nothing provable, like the concept of a Multiverse.
