Anesthesia is a far cry from death. Every anesthesiologist knows that. You also lose consciousness during non-rem sleep.
The soul, like one of the kids posted, is not what you have, but something you are.
It is the immaterial part of you. Just like thoughts, values, hopes and desires, and abstract ideas like mathematics are immaterial.
The brain continues to operate during anesthesia.
There are accounts of near death experiences though, in those cases the heart ❤ stops beating and there is actually reports of increased consciousness in spite of clinical brain death. It seems extremely counter intuitive and I don't blame you if you don't agree, but its up for scientific scrutiny.
There is an interesting publication in the Lancet medical journal by a cardiologist Pim VanLommel if you want to google it.
