Interesting question for a change.
A rock being far far away from being a developed consciousness (million of years far away) can not possibly have any sort of feeling therefore it is not possible to pretend that it will react as we would react if we are killed.
The millions of grains and dust that make up the whole rock have their own minute consciousness but in a almost total dormant or latent form.
It really wouldn't matter to them whether they are part of the rock or whether they are separate.
As the old saying goes...........NO BRAIN NO PAIN........so to conclude it is obvious that no one in this case will get the consciousness because the consciousness is not awaken yet.
It would have been even more interesting if you would have ask who get the consciousness if you cut a plant in two.
Nobody. Plants are not conscious. Rocks are not conscious. Specks of rock are not conscious. Honestly, I'm a little surprised that YOU are conscious, but I figure you must be if you've somehow figured out how to use a computer.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
