I should emphasize a little more what life-or-death situation means for your dog experiment. If you somehow plan to make the colorblind dog starve to death and put in front of him food and expect him to see colors and eat the food, but in case he doesn't see colors you make a back-up plan of saving the dog, your experiment will not work, because you will not create a life-or-death situation, you will just create a life-or-life situation. The think about consciousness experiments is that they don't allow faking. So I'm really curious how you will design that experiment in order to not fake the workings of nature/consciousness.
What is this "saving the dog". The dog will create the qualia of color and so will not starve.
