dhw: which of your two statements do you now adhere to? 1) "Consciousness involves self-awareness at the human level", or 2) "Animals are conscious but generally not self-aware and therefore do not have the type of consciousness that we have."-Both. For me they are consistent.

Another possibility is that consciousness is a quantum hologram in the brain. The fMRI's never show consciousness. I think our consciousness rejoins the universal consciousness at death. But I know you won't undestand that eiher.
