On Drawing Philosophy Out of Abstruseness and Into Practicality

This is a question I asked a few months ago and could not myself answer. Someone here is bound to come up with a better solution than I. I think it can only be answered by one who believes in free will and no soul.

If one does not believe in a soul and does not invoke a hitherto unknown principle, the consciousness must reside within the physical human body. If consciousness can be effected through complex reactions of matter, all matter must be at least infinitesimally self-aware. How then should this affect the way we treat all matter, animate or otherwise?
