[PHI 1000] Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment

Here is a simple argument against mind-body dualism:
  1. If Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) can change a person's state of mind, then the mind must be physical.
  2. ECT can change a person's state of mind.
  3. Therefore, the mind must be physical.
 

What do you make of this argument?
