The way I see this is, I don't think thats accurate because alzhiemer's comes and goes in waves. Sometimes you'll be perfectly lucid and other's you'll be completely out of it. Basicly, IMO, it seems that having your memory even some of the time, would still be enough for you to be here right now, and not sitting in your rocker right now...
That said, this brings up another, even crazier thought...
How do I know your even here right now, I know I am... but you could be on some sort zombie autopilot right now and I couldn't tell the difference. vice versa. How do any of us know that anyone else is truely self conscious? For all I, and anyone else, know... I/you could be the only truely "aware" person...
How do you prove someone elses consciousness? It seems like an easy question, but its really not.
