That does raise the question of where group consciousness ends though:

* Is my immune system conscious?

* Is my family conscious?

* Is my community conscious?

* Is my country conscious?

* Is the universe conscious?

What's all this RNA doing in here? Why am I making so many of these stupid spiky things? Dammit, now I've got to clean up this mess.

Humans always looking for bright lines of demarcation.

Consciousness is not a well defined concept. Any line you draw between conscious and non-conscious is arbitrary. So where do you want to draw the line?
