Draggingtree Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 First hint of 'life after death' in biggest ever scientific study Southampton University scientists have found evidence that awareness can continue for at least several minutes after clinical death which was previously thought impossible By Sarah Knapton, Science Correspondent 12:00AM BST 07 Oct 2014 Death is a depressingly inevitable consequence of life, but now scientists believe they may have found some light at the end of the tunnel. The largest ever medical study into near-death and out-of-body experiences has discovered that some awareness may continue even after the brain has shut down completely. It is a controversial subject which has, until recently, been treated with widespread scepticism. But scientists at the University of Southampton have spent four years examining more than 2,000 people who suffered cardiac arrests at 15 hospitals in the UK, US and Austria. And they found that nearly 40 per cent of people who survived described some kind of ‘awareness’ during the time when they were clinically dead before their hearts were restarted http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/science-news/11144442/First-hint-of-life-after-death-in-biggest-ever-scientific-study.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
