I do believe that plants can feel, as in touch. However, complex emotions?? Humility? I can see pain, and what you could call happiness or a sense of well-being, but humility? That would imply that plants have pride, an ego...so I draw the line there..
This is a good example of what I was referring to with Liberalism gone
amok...what a waste of money and brainpower, when there are so many other problems in the world.

Who Is to Say Flora Don't Have Feelings? Figuring Out What Wheat
Would Want

»ZURICH -- For years, Swiss scientists have blithely created
genetically modified rice, corn and apples. But did they ever stop to
consider just how humiliating such experiments may be to plants?

That's a question they must now ask. Last spring, this small Alpine
nation began mandating that geneticists conduct their research
without trampling on a plant's dignity.
