Forgive me if this is the wrong place to post; c/mutualaid feels like it would draw attention away from people with more urgent issues, and c/mentalhealth is very inactive and rarely anyone ever sees it.

it blocks the memory tho right? that's all that matters believe me, one of my best friends was responsive while under. poor guy also has sleep paralysis, exploding head syndrome and stuff. we dormed in uni with a couple guys and i was noturnal... i remember playing hearts of iron at like 3am and he just bolts upright and yells a syllable and I turned and stared right at him and he was obviously asleep and going thru something

as long as the surgery is good

This is a different philosophical question but I think it does matter, even if you had no memory of it. I wouldn't want to die a painful death even if I obviously wouldn't have any memory of dying, because the experience of pain is bad. OP is justified in being concerned about a potentially bad experience even if OP wouldn't remember it regardless.

I think this is a wild take.

We will all forget all pain we ever experienced once we die, I don't think that makes it "all that matters".
