Since other people are biologically similar to me

I can't agree with you because you can only assert that a person is biologically similar to you based on how they look and feel, barring cutting into them. If I were to design a robot that looked and felt and talked similar to a human being enough that you would have no way of discerning whether it's a real human or not, then you're saying that you would be inclined to believe them.

I admit I don't have an answer to this problem, I just don't agree with your statement.
