To: Conservative til I die
ME: Funny I have no recollection of any existence at the time, not even of the responses of my fetal nervous system

YOU: Comatose people aren't conscious of pain or anything else either. Would that make it OK to cut one of their arms off?

Your reply is incongruous since I said nothing about consciousness. Keep reading the thread, the context will become clearer.

Yes you did. To have recollection or awareness of one's own existence is consciouisness. To not have that is to not have consciousness. You're either conscious of your own existence or you're not.
