Ahh, but this still doesn't tell us whether or not the plant is conscious. Since plants don't have brains, I'm taking an educated guess that they are not conscious. So there is a HUGE difference between a plant automatically unconsciously reacting to a caterpillar eating it, and a cow still being conscious while its throat is being cut.
