Even if consciousness (or things like it) isn't exclusive to brains, it is at least exclusive to living things (following the evidence). I personally find it silly to suggest that consciousness/experience/awareness is something that just pops up out of nowhere at some point on an evolutionary scale. I think it's far more likely to be gradual.
Anyhow, it's still very much all connected to a living body of some sort; an emergent property of such. It's never been even remotely observed to be otherwise, so there's no reason yet to think it can be.

It is also worth noting that even living brains lack consciousness when in certain states (like when under anesthesia). So a living brain is not all that is required. The brain must also be in a conscious state.

Confirmation bias will always steer a person to a website that he subconsciously agrees with (or wish to agree with) ...It's that simple!
It must be true. The Illuminati told me!

Lots of things happen after death.
Just none of them to you.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

After death you will only exist in the memory of those who knew you, asking where you go after that is like asking where the music goes when the band stops playing

Silly question. Everyone already knows and doesn't like the answer.
It's exactly like before you were born. You're dead. No consciousness, no thought, no you, nothing, zero, nada, zilch.
Not even a dial tone.
You've already done it, and you go back to that exact state.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
