So if I had to have some sort of complex operation and they had to stop my heart / brain activity for 1 second (for some suitably contrived reason) then I wouldn't mind (so long as this particular procedure had a good success rate, etc) - so long as I could open my eyes afterwards and feel pretty much the same as before.

Exactly. I can cope with dying as long as I return to life and feel the same afterwards. But permanently dying...that'd be a bit of a downer.
