So you dont believe that a plant 'wants' to live? It is proven that a plant has a conscious entity that is formed by the single celled organisms, that it will try to do everything in its power to protect itself - some even evolving traits that are similar to animals such as releasing a poison in to the plant that makes it taste horrible or give the animal an upset stomach. Even more facinating are that all plants can communicate through pheramone and in some causes ultra high frequencies to warn other plants of its type, triggering their defensive mechanisms, a method that facilitates the protection of its species and shows us that each species of plant is trying to out do the other, meaning that there is a low to high order in plants as well.

These events are triggered by the 'idea' of being killed, the plant 'desires' to live, so it protects itself. While true that it's very act - react, but the same can be said of most if not all of the human brain.

The human brain itself is a collection of single celled organisms that communicate back and forth on a much grander scale, so why cant a plant have the same principle? If you agree to this (as far as I know, it's fact) then wouldn't it be true that the unicell organism contains at least some level of consciousness? Zero consciousness would mean that a billion cells combined would have zero consciousness, but we know that to be false.
