A Clear Conscious
“Researchers have implanted millions of functional human brain cells in mice, for instance, prompting speculation that the work might someday endow mice with consciousness. Philosophers and theologians are musing about whether A.I. will become conscious, and how we can know for sure. Amid all the uncertainty, there’s one fact that everyone can agree on. In each of our lives, there was a time when our brains were still too rudimentary to support consciousness, and there was a time when that changed.” Carl Zimmer with an interesting look at what consciousness is and when it begins. Are Babies Conscious? (I always advised mine to avoid it as long as possible.)
