"Consciousness is not affected."

I removed this sentence from the intro paragraph. It was uncited and unclear what it means. Consciousness is a philosophical concept that is arguably impossible to even verify in other people. It can be added back if it is cited and properly explained. Finnigami (talk) 22:49, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, and welcome! You might be interested in reading WP:Questions, for information on where to ask for help, and WP:Student assignments, for information on how student assignments are handled. I notice you posted this question on multiple pages, try to avoid this since it fragments discussion. WelpThatWorked (talk) 16:12, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
