Yes, I'm not convinced that there wasn't a 'me' in that sense that died last year when I was under anesthetic. Of course, I have his memories, but then I would.
But then, that's true moment-to-moment. As you know, I tend to the view that 'consciousness' itself is an illusion in the sense that most people (including me) think of it, so I'm not sure that I'm saying anything stronger than that with my anasthetic example.
