They have senses for sure, just like we humans who rule the earth. I
suspect they also can sense impending death - a necessary item for
survival and evolution. But I am not knowledgeable about lobsters. I
cannot eat them any more unless it is packaged meat and I don't see the
claws and eyes. They are being depleted too much in the wild also? I
may have read that there is a problem there too.

I have a feeling that being put into a pot and steamed to death is not
a way to go.

Too reminiscent of the Spanish Inquisition.
