I would have loved to ask you—while you are in that state—what your view is on your own moral patienthood. Has it temporarily changed while you are in this state? Do you view your moral patienthood 100% tied your conscious self that is still “in here” so hurting the unconscious you is still morally bad, and whether the unconscious you does or doesn’t see itself as having moral patienthood by itself without any attachment to your conscious self. E.g. “You’re going to be in this state forever I’m afraid. Conscious you is gone. How does this change your view of your own moral patienthood?”
And then after you woke up I’d ask you similar questions to see how well the two yous match. And ohhh boy… it could be terrifying if I ask those really messed up thought experiments and find that your conscious and unconscious self have very different answers on how to act in particular situations.
