Comments by "June VanDerMark" (@junevandermark952) on "What is consciousness? - Michael S. A. Graziano" video.
I suggest that a primate example of consciousness, is, when cells finish creating the brain of a fetus, and the fetus then becomes conscious and aware of its material surroundings. If (for whatever reason), the brain fails to keep functioning, the fetus will no longer be aware, and will come out of the woman's body "lifeless." Meanwhile, fetuses in other women's bodies will come out with brain cells that are very much alive ... alert ... and conscious. Had we evolved with paws, rather than fingers, how much importance do you think we would put on the subject of an "afterlife?"
