Your reply is incongruous since I said nothing about consciousness.

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.

Oh man. It was such an intelligent thread before you came along. "Recollection" is a different process than mere "consciousness". And, recognizing those recollections as fetal stimulations is a higher process still. I can analyze any recollections I may have (though I have none) of fetal stimulations I received. A dog, also conscious, cannot.

Even at your age you ought to know how to use a dictionary. There are some online if you'd like a link.
