For example, claims about the value of life for those in Permanent Vegetative State (PVS); debates about treatment and study of disorders of consciousness; controversies about end-of-life care for those with advanced dementia; and arguments about the moral status of embryos, fetuses, and non-human animals arguably turn on the moral significance of various facts about consciousness. However, though work has been done on the moral significance of elements of consciousness, such as pain and pleasure, little explicit attention has been devoted to the ethical significance of consciousness.Routledge focus on philosophy.ConsciousnessMoral and ethical aspectsmoral statusaffectphenomenal consciousnesssystematic accountnon-humansconscious experiencevalencehumansnatureEmotionHedonismInstrumental and intrinsic valueConsciousnessMoral and ethical aspects.128.2Shepherd Joshua878226FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910269348203321Consciousness and moral status1960577UNINA
