Is human consciousness special or just computation?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Is human consciousness special or just computation?". Your opponent's style: Aristotle

If a runaway train is going to hit 5 people, is it okay to pull a lever to switch it to a track where it only hits 1 person?

Indeed, you present a classic conundrum, one that forces a harsh choice. Yet, to merely pull the lever and condemn one individual is to become an active participant in death, rather than a passive observer of tragedy. Is it not more virtuous to refrain from direct action that causes harm, even if it leads to a greater loss?[1][2] The moral wrong is already in motion; introducing your will to select a victim makes you culpable. To act is to kill, to not act is to allow fate to unfold.
