Hello /sci/,
I'm pretty sure this question should be impossible to answer as we don't fully understand consciousness yet but maybe someone could chip in and give their two cents or a fresh angle. Basically I watched Cronenberg's 'The Fly' last night and it got me thinking about if someone's mind was to instantly become that of an insects or animals.
In my mind they would just die instantly as the Animal doesn't know how to operate its body or breathe.
Pretty morbid but I've thought about it all day...
