I do see your point; but I think the organism enduring the pain could also be described as a beholder of the pain. I'm not sure that two entities which react radically differently to being in a state can really be said to be in the same state at all. Also the microtubules quantum effect seems like a needless complication to the system; is that an attempt to add scientific justification for dualism?
I'm not aware of him, but I only did one subject on philosophy during my degree. I think it even gets hard to even be totally sure that _we_ feel things... given how memory and drugs can interfere with out perceptions. I think it's often easier to run with functional definitions of pain and other such things.

I agree. My personal take on the Chinese Room is that the entire system that makes up the Chinese Room can in fact speak Chinese.
