Does this spectrum imply that humans have varying levels of consciousness? If so, I think this presents an interesting moral question.

- simonsquiff 10y agoI'd certainly say there is a spectrum of varying human consciousness from fetus>baby>young child>child
- back_beyond 10y agoDoes it vary within each category?

- codeulike 10y agoLets say it does. Perhaps a brain damaged person in a coma has less consciousness. Or perhaps someone who is just asleep has less consciousness. Whats your interesting moral question?
- back_beyond 10y agoI seem to have forgotten
- collyw 10y agoI would say so on a more minute to minute basis. Awake, asleep, drunk, daydreaming, hypnosis......
- andybak 10y agoNot only that but you (or I) have varying levels of consciousness minute to minute. We conflate many different states of mind and call them all 'conscious' whereas they differ massively.
