What if consciousness is a spectrum? Where then is the line drawn between really conscious and not really conscious? Do human babies differ from non-human animals when it comes to consciousness?
No, because human babies are necessarily (it can be no other way) developing toward a known potential. Picking a point along the way to draw a line of value is arbitrary.
