If the conscious being it was simulating would do so, then yes.
On the general topic of simulation of conscious beings, it has just occurred to me... Most functionalists believe a simulation would also be conscious, but a giant look-up table would not be. But if the conscious mind consists of physically separable subsystems in interaction - suppose you try simulating the subsystems with look-up tables, at finer and finer grains of subdivision. At what point would the networked look-up-tables be conscious?
I think Eliezer Yudkowsky's remarks on giant lookup tables in the Zombie Sequence just about cover the interesting questions.
