Yes, I think that it's profoundly unreasonable. I do not think that our awareness, whether one calls it the self, the soul or something else, is capable of existing independent of a functioning, conscious brain. In fact, our awareness seems to completely disappear when we're under anesthesia or in the non-dreaming phases of sleep. I don't think it has any chance at all of surviving actual death.
