I'm not sure it's fair to compare "anesthetized for six months" to "dead, permanently".

Well I don't have much experience with death and eternal life. What goes wrong in extrapolating from hours or months to eternity?

Well, you wake up after the six months. Unless you expect to wake up from death (in which case it's a perfectly logical argument, I think) then there does seem to be a difference. As I said, I'm not sure if this difference is relevant, but it seems like it might be.
