Sure, not sure it changes anything though. It seems to me that consciousness is an integral part of living things.If somebody loses a few of their senses, you're saying they've lost some consciousness?
If one lost a sense of smell. one would not be conscious of stinky thing? I know, people who have lost a sense .. they are aware of things from experience before losing the sense.
Consciousness and being conscious of something -- a few distinct differences there.
