Respond in the answers/comments. I will resolve to the answers receiving the most support in the comments (number of positive comments, roughly speaking), probably weighted by the amount of support.
I'd also encourage people to comment proposing alternate criteria that they thing are more useful than sentience. The word "sentience" probably isn't very useful because there isn't agreement on what it means. so it would improve our understanding to replace ambiguous words with what we think they mean (https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/WBdvyyHLdxZSAMmoz/taboo-your-words).
