As good an answer as I have thus far. I have to wonder at the prospect of a partial existence outside the body though, a part of a collective consciousness, a corpuscle in a body of knowledge.
I shall share an amusing story on this very subject, administered at my own expense: I recently had minor surgery ...
I had a similar valium based memory erasing drug for a colonoscopy. I woke up on the table as they were ready to wheel me out. They said I "behaved myself," but judging from the smiles on their faces I expect I did not. 8^)
