Philosophical zombie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"hypothetical being that is indistinguishable from a normal human being except that it lacks conscious experience, qualia, or sentience. When a zombie is poked with a sharp object, for example, it does not feel any pain. However, it behaves exactly as if it does feel pain (..), but it does not actually have the experience of pain as a putative 'normal' person does.
