    a series of switches is not ever going to create a sentient being

    Is the goal to create a sentient being, or to create something that seems sentient? How would you even tell the difference (assuming it could pass any test a normal human could)?

      Powering off a pile of switches is turning it off. Powering off a sentient being is killing it. Not to mention a million other issues it raises.
