So, would you say that any "scientific" study of consciousness would be impossible?

No. Consciousness may simply be electro-chemical operations in the brain; we know head injuries can cause personality changes, and that removal or destruction of certain portions of the brain can literally turn an angel into a devil. In this regard, consciousness has a concrete reality and can be studied using the scientific method.
