CRod, there is nothing to suggest to us that our ability to "experience" things isn't a function of our biological systems. When you die, they cease to function. That makes the idea of "experiencing death" a strange one doesn't it? What we can reliably refer to as the experience of death, is the dying process, which has been well documented, and if you need support in this area I have a link for you. "they cease to function" shall i be told what that is like?

Rephrase as a coherent question?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

You keep asking the same question as though it hadn't been answered before CRod. Without the functions of your sensory systems, including your brain itself, you don't experience anything. There is no description because there is no experience. All descriptions of death are either from before the moment of death (from the dyings point of view) or after the moment of death (from an observers point of view). A person may say "I am dying". A seperate person may point to that person and say "he is dead", but the dead have a tendency not to sit up after death and say "I am dead".

What is it like to not clap?
