what? this is like asking, do elephants go to heaven?
isn't the proper question, phrased scientifically (albiet a nascent science), whether elephants have consciousness?
EDIT: skimming the article i see it's quite literary so i think the choice of words was meant to reflect more humanism than merely saying "concsious" would capture: ie, meaning or purpose, emotion, etc
