No need to wait, I'm right here.
First- you really need to learn the word context - my arguements were responses to specific arguements levied against me - please see the posts above mine, hense you "and?" is either dis-ingenious or you are too lazy to look up.
Next you are the one that brought legality into this not me, but it is nothing but legal to adhere to the wishes of a competent patient, regardless of what their family, friends, neighbors, pastor, rabbi, vet, car washer, or you think. No paperwork beyond documentation necessary - the paperwork is required to declare them incompetent NOT the case you suggested "talking, awake, etc." And when I said hard, it had nothing to do with my feelings ( you really need to learn the term context - are you a spectrum person?) but which ones are ETHICALLY easy, not personally easy and hard.
I agree that consciousness is a strange requirement, but it IS one that was brough up ON THIS THREAD AND THAT IS WHAT I WAS RESPONDING TO, so I don't care if you think it strange, the context (again that word!!) was in response to THAT. Are you sure you are not 9 or 10?
Now I guess I will get to your definition - I'm not sure you understand the term specific. if this is a weak response to my previous response to you (which I am still waiting for another post) then I actually gave a very specific definition and then said if you don't like it then please give me yours to use as a basis of discusiion. That fact that you cannot or will not get specific is a sign of weakness on your end not mine - so if you would like to be specific please do so otherwise I will - the medical definition of consiousness.
