Presumably if you were able to measure the brainwaves of babies in the womb, you'd see that they are conscious of their surroundings, and this develops over time and through parental, peer and societal influences.
But at what point am I thinking/conscious?
And why am *I* having this consciousness? Why did *I* (whatever *I* is) come to be inside this particular human that you all know and love?
I'm a bit busy today so I'll be back later to see how you're doing. |  |

"But at what point am I thinking"?
Rarely, if ever.
Glad to be of help. |  |

I think you are asking the wrong questions, and in the wrong direction.
I see this as a question for the meta discipline of philosophy rather than for scientists...in the first instance.
And the question is better framed as 'How does consciousness emerge?'
But you have to define consciousness first. |  |

A good argument against abortion here Jerseys. Nice one. We'll have you converting to Anglicanism before long. |  |

Not sure there is any evidence for that... I very much doubt a collection of cells is conscious... | |

As someone who studied philosophy at a high level I can honestly say it's a waste of your consciousness to be pondering the origin and nature of your consciousness. |  |

I studied philosophy at uni (is that a high enough level?) I just wanted to see what the science bods would come up with. | |

You should have asked what a baby is doing in a womb, there won't be any room for the foetus. | |

That's a moderate level rather than a high one I'd say. You're asking science to answer a metaphysical question. Metaphysical questions are intellectual masturbation at best. | |

He just to and from Fleetwood, leaving London at 5.00pm on a Friday. That's enough to make anybody doubt their existence, and indeed reality. | |

I stand by the last sentence fully. Look, masturbation is fun, there's no shame in admitting you enjoy it. [Post edited 8 Oct 2019 7:47]
