>Isn't that what we would do, treated as mice? I don't think that human demonstrable intelligence is the be-all and end-all of intelligence; I just think that it's what we're experienced with -- human-flavored intelligence; thus I think that may be a poor test criteria. -- as far as free will goes : the demonstration of free will or lack thereof means little to nothing to the individual -- and I agree with the theory put forward by user turtleyacht that the concept itself will likely be understood as a cloud of probabilities, much like just about anything in our universe.
