If morality is not eternal, and consciousness is necessary for morality, then consciousness isn't eternal.
I understand that the argument is sound. I don't care, because it can't be said that morality is eternal affirmatively, and is thus useless to make conversation about.
So I think I agree with Skepsis here. If morality should somehow prove to be eternal then I should be shocked. Why would anything having to with the feeling of mutuality and tender feelings of creatures like us already exist ahead of us? How would that work?
Same goes for consciousness. Disembrained consciousness has always struck me as more than a little creepy and weird.
