Seriously? For crying out loud. The brain stem relays these things! Without an area to relay them to, the baby is not aware! Fuck, if you want to go with all of the functions of the brain stem without considering the rest of the motherfucking brain, we could say these babies are completely normal. I find it pretty fucking obnoxious that I would even have to insist on a well known medical fact being correct. Ask a fucking doctor, Phil. These babies do not feel pain or become conscious.

entirely rules out the possibility of ever gaining consciousness.

Chowderhead.
Quote:BTW Shell, the forebrain consists of the cerebrum, cerebral cortex and hemispheres thalamus, hypothalamus, among a few other parts. See why I say google isn't science?
Why are you so quick to argue? Fucking read first. I know what the forebrain consists of. Withfuckingout it, the brain stem is only able to handle certain functions. It is like having a telephone that is not hooked up. See why I say rageaholics should think before they type? Well, I only just started saying that. Thank you for setting the precedence.
