Well, I for one give a shit about John Clark's subjective experience. 
I'd be sad if it stopped or was impaired. This is partly due to 
empathy, partly to curiosity about how a rather different 
subjectivity seems to experience the world. (By contrrast, while my 
curiosity is aroused by reports of the disordered subjectivity of the 
mass murderer Cho, I don't really give a flying fuck about its 
self-destruction.)
