Is Participating In A Study Of Sevoflurane General Anesthesia Safe?

I am considering participating in a paid study of the general anesthetic sevoflurane -- they are trying to determine the speed of recovery of functions such as memory etc. However, my PCP and another retired surgeon have advised against participating. Please advise.
