I don't know if this means much, but I have a friend who has congenital heart defect since she was a infant. She has had many surgeries since. She suffered a stroke and is legally blind.
During one of her heart surgeries, though she was knocked out, she told doctors what she saw during our "out." She said there was a pain in her chest and found out that one of the nurses left a swab (you know, the ones we use to take off nail polish with), in her chest. The technical instrument for observing fluid during surgery.
She was right. It was there.
Her brain was alive, but she had I think a triple-bi. If she were proof that there was life after death, the only thing she'd be proving is that our brains can still pick up sensations and connections even when the heart has been stopped. Highly assuming that when the heart stops, it doesn't automatically trigger every other part of the brain all at one time. You know how your computer shuts off? Well, mine, it takes a bit. The CPU shuts off, then the screen, then the lights. Then the air under the lap top,
and then it's out. If I'm inpatient, it can seem minutes before everything turns off even though the hard drive has already clonked out.
That, and this headline makes me pause at the authenticity of this article: "While undertaking the research the scientists uncovered what may be the first proven case of a patient’s out of body experience."
Was this a secret discovery? Usually, when we find something
this big it isn't a hush hush thing unless, well... but it's in the headlines, so.
@FearGod now if you give us some surveys, scholarly articles, and studies that have other people other than the patients testify to the article's authenticity, then there would be something to discuss.
I agree with
@ADigitalArtist
In fact I'd go as far to say that people in critical conditions especially oxygen deprivation are the least reliable testimony to their surroundings that there is. (25)
Plus, "life after death" is a religious belief. Scientifically, what is the motive of a scientist for wanting to search for life after death (outside of his or her personal beliefs)?
What is the purpose for doctors to want people to live forever?
