I agree, there is no ghost. Consciousness is an emergent behavior of those elements: neurons, their interconnections, neurotransmitters, etc.

However, in theory it may be possible to reproduce those elements down to a molecular level, allowing the emergence of the "original" consciousness from new matter.

So, if you imagine that "ghost" is metaphorical speak to, say, to summarize, the film is not strictly wrong.
