True. You'd probably go crazy as a brain disconnected from your body, regardless of what drugs they give you.. But It'd be an interesting final experience, I guess. I do hope they're getting pain killers along with the anaesthesia, though.

I guess they would plug us some electrodes which we could learn to use to communicate. ;)

The brain itself doesn't have pain receptors, so painkillers would not make any difference. The only pain would be existentional ;)
