    We can’t prove plants are sentient. Then again, neither can we prove humans are sentient.

      What do you mean? With our scientific knowledge we can prove plants aren’t sentient. They don’t have Central Nervous System.

        And how does that prove anything? Can you prove sentience requires neurons? The clear answer is no, that’s just a confortable assumption we make to not be shackled to phylosophical inertness.
