When does one acquire consciousness?

Does a fetus/baby in the womb have any
consciousness?

 

[Viker]

This I do not know or have a clue. It's possible that sometime in the womb this happens. Just not sure exactly when or where.

Week 16 babies start kicking, maybe that's an indicator.

Certainly at some point. My son when in the womb would knock a TV guide off my wife's stomach when she laid it there. It was so cute.

If you mean basic sentience, it depends on how you define it. But around week 18 in simple forms and around week 30 in a more robust form. If you mean higher cognitive states that is not relevant for a fetus or even a newborn baby.

Probably in the sixth week of pregnancy, when brain starts developing.
Sure, no doubt about it, therefore, the squirming.

What is consciousness?
Passing the mirror test? At about 20 to 24 months after birth.
Most animals don't pass the test. Exceptions are apes, cetaceans, some birds and some cats and dogs and , interestingly, ants.

Is a human question only asked by a human as an adult human and probably a scientist. Who compares life to his machine theories.

Whilst attacking a human being adult life body by computer mind contact programs discussing squirming for instance. Of a biological female life and not your fake human calculated maths.

Not learning anything at all....as it's all fake by your choice only.

Some believe the soul pre-exists in heaven and then enters the womb. I know someone. Its kind of like the Hooberbloob Highway idea.

Sure. It's made of living cells so it's definitely conscious.

No, it could be caused by, but not made of.

That would depend on how you are defining "consciousness" and "one."

If you mean the capacity to have thoughts, emotions, feelings, personal identity, the perception of self and others, i.e. sentience, or what I view as the ego-self, then "one" would develop "consciousness" at between 24 to 28 weeks of gestation.

However, if you mean pure awareness, in my understanding, this "consciousness" is eternal. "One" experiences a life as a fetus/baby/child/adult.

Brain activity kicks up dramatically with the switch from fetal circulation to postnatal circulation. That's probably a much better indicator.

It was must be like a very slow awakening.

In your " understanding"? What information
goes into that?

A paramecium is conscious?

Out of curiosity: have neither of you ever seen someone move while they were unconscious? Neither of you ever get kicked by your spouse while they're sleeping, for instance?

How does one define "consciousness" can vary.
