Well, I'm with Schrödinger here (as opposed to Wigner).
Somewhere superimposition stops and I feel it is much more likely that it is an issue of scale/complexity (macroscopic vs quantum-scale) rather than "unconcious vs concious").
The cat will be dead at some point, whether Wigner or his friend know (observe) it or not. Questioning this, is not helpful, AFAIC.
Or is it impossible for drunk people to (really) die alone, because they are not concious enough to observe their own death?
Anyhow, we probably won't solve the problem in this thread.
