The Burt Cohen Show - Consciousness and Ethics - 09/27/12

There's an emerging science of consciousness. Guest on this show is the UK's  Dr. Daniel Bor, author of The Ravenous Brain; How the New Science of Consciousness Explains Our Insatiable Search for Meaning. The discussion asks what consciousness is, what about consciousness in fetuses, and animals for that matter? Is our consciousness evolving or have we hit a plateau? Not your usual political show, but the issue certainly relates.
