[QUOTE]Originally posted by sam p: [QB] [QUOTE]I take it that you are referring to my question about a cell. Sure a cell would have to be 'alive', in order to set it apart from the non-living, but do you have material that suggests that cells by themselves are generally conscious? I suppose the same question can be asked about the smaller entities, including DNA and RNA, that make up a single cell - which is by itself complex enough, let alone a multicellular organism.[/QUOTE]There's a lot of evidence which suggests that "consciouness" is a continuum that ranges from never alive to nirvana. Certainly bacteria are closer to the low end of the scale than the high end but new research shows that the behavior of many simple organisms change based on enviromental factors such as species population. One bacterium will simply multiply if able until it hits a sort of critical mass and then it glows. This is apparently the result of changes in each (or most) of the bacteria rather than a chemical property. This would imply communication and at least a low level consciousness. Individual human cells are most probably far lower on the "consciousness" scale than bacteria or even viruses but I wouldn't be surprised if it were learned that some body parts and their associated ganglia had a very high level of consciousness of which we're not aware. All communication with such structures occurs in the most primitive parts of the brain and the medula. [/QB][/QUOTE]
