The vegan place to discuss things.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

Anesthetics and plants: no pain, no brain, and therefore no consciousness (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)

"... plants lack the neural anatomy and all behaviors that would indicate pain. By explaining the ubiquitous and diverse effects of anesthetics, we discuss whether these substances provide any empirical or logical evidence for 'plant consciousness' and whether it makes sense to study the effects of anesthetics on plants for this purpose. In both cases, the answer is a resounding no."
