   Given a sufficiently powerful computer, I could, in theory, simulate
   the human body and brain to any desired degree of accuracy.  * * *

Don't forget to provide all the sensory input provided by being
in, moving around in, and affecting the world.  Otherwise you'll
be simulating a catatonic.

Do the terminally catatonic have minds?
