Consciousness is an 1p notion, and you cannot identify it with *any*
3p.
But then you must say "No." to the doctor, because what he proposes
to is a 3p equivalent substitute for your brain.
On the contrary, once we say "yes" to the doctor, we can know that we
are not the brain or the body, we own them. We borrow their relative
appearances, not to be conscious, but to manifest our first person
experiences relatively to the (probable) others in the normal histories.
Without the brain and body and physics, what experience would we have?
