It's a bald assertion, is what it is. Especially since, in real terms, we know that consciousness does not come from consciousness: a developing infant gains consciousness over time, from the non-conscious matter that forms them.
Moreover, you could artificially inseminate a brain dead woman using the semen from a brain dead man, and still get a pregnancy. Consciousness simply is not required in the development of consciousness. Your inferential relationship is nothing more than wishful thinking that you pulled out of your ass.
