    Yes, it’s a very similar idea with anesthesia. It uses the same regard for self as being something more than just a meat bag in motion. Anesthesia is understood as a reversible suppression of consciousness, memory, sensation, and awareness. If consciousness completely disappears, how do we know the subjective “you” that wakes up is identical to the one that went under?
