This Element examines the main ethical aspects of consciousness It
argues that consciousness is not intrinsically valuable but has
value or disvalue for individuals depending on its phenomenology
(what it is like to be aware) and content (what one is aware of).
These two components of awareness shape normative judgments about
how ordered, disordered, altered, restored, diminished and
suppressed conscious states can benefit or harm individuals. They
also influence moral judgments about whether intentionally causing
these states is permissible or impermissible and how these states
can affect behavior. After describing its neurobiological basis,
this Element discusses ethical and legal issues in six categories
of consciousness: phenomenal and access consciousness;
intraoperative awareness; prolonged disorders of consciousness,
dissociative disorders, the role of consciousness in determining
death; and altering and suppressing awareness near the end of life.
