What is sentience?

This next video explains what sentience is, what it is not, and how we can assess the sentience of other beings. It describes the many different sources of evidence that bear on this question and the most important one, the presence of a centralized nervous system. In this course about wild animal suffering, you’ll learn about the plight of animals living in the wild. Find out what the lives of the most numerous animals — invertebrates — are actually like and get an overview of evidence of their sentience (consciousness). Hear what the contemporary debates in animal ethics are and how they relate to showing moral consideration for nonhuman animals. Find out about a proposed field of research called welfare biology, the study of the wellbeing of animals living in the wild.
