Do you think Socrates would have liked to be in a coma where he is conscious but not able to feel his body?

Here is my interpretation of Socrates adapted to your question. This is just the closest approximation of interpreting his philosophy that is possible without descending into imaginative storytelling (setting aside the fact that Plato was telling stories in his dialogues) :)

The Socratic Coma: Socrates thought that living an unexamined life, in which the primary focus is on matters of the physical (the body, material goods), was a life where you were able to feel your body most vividly. You are aware of the body (and its physical requirements) so much that its physical reality dominates your understanding of all life priorities. However, you are actually unconscious to the extent that you do not pay attention to the more important matters of the justice and virtue of your conscious being.

Living an examined life, which was Socrates' idea of a live well lived, is being more authentically conscious but the awareness of the body is less important (with regard to priorities of focus).

The coma in Socrates' view, is the inverse of your idea. The Socratic version of a coma is to be all about the body (the physical), but not paying conscious attention to the mind or soul. Socrates spent much of his live trying to help people not be in this type of coma.
