> I think that consciousness (or rather the feeling of consciousness) is very related to continuous long-term memory storing.

Are you my surgeon? About six years ago I was to undergo somewhat novel surgery and the chappie asked if he could record the procedure, it being a research hospital and all). "Sure," I said, "if you can assure me I will feel no pain."

He said that he could not promise that, but they he could assure me I would not remember it even if it did.

And that's the alpha and the omega of my philosophizing. If I can't remember it happening, did it even? How does this map to criminal justice?
