RascalPuff....I think conscience is an inherent POSSIBILITY within sentience being and I think it has a cultivated quality possible to be gained through an internal emotional struggle within the self.

Your reference to egosyntronic and its referral to Nazi consciousness is also explainable as a demoralized person or society. When society deadens any concept of a higher intelligence beyond us we see the actions of those who play God which is most certainly action without conscience.

I think good and bad issues are not connected to conscience, they are simply concepts conditioned in by parents and others who contribute to forming and shaping a sense of morality. I believe conscience functions at a higher level than any conditioned morality because it lies inherently possible to be reached at a higher level of our nature through internal struggle.

Knowing right from wrong is complex for example the issue of figuring out if a man steals a loaf of bread because he is hungry it is paradoxical that it is a wrong action because his need to survive is involved. Another example is to be polite to someone's face and in your mind to hate that person. The concept of right and wrong gets very complex when we believe that the invisible stuff in our head cannot be seen so is therefore not wrong.

To me to possess conscience is to use the ability to measure words and expected actions to weigh the possibility that what I might consider doing or saying would possibly harm the life of someone else and if I have to struggle to prevent that harm from happening then I believe that is conscience....
