Maybe its "hard" because any coherent definition that would allow entities to be definitively classified as conscious or not, at least without sufficient wiggle room, would offend too many people.
What do you mean babies less than a month old are less conscious than a fancy toaster? What the #@@&$+ is wrong with you?
