The Surgeon's Dilemma

The surgeon has a dilemma before her.  

She may either take out the brain of someone and so demonstrate that this individual will no longer think,

or,

she may not take it out and the person will still think that the mind is the ghost in the machine.

Either she will demonstrate that an individual needs the brain to think and it will kill the person or she will not demonstrate it and the person will live.

What is right and what is wrong with this dilemma?
