You don't getting Em, do you?  Tut Tut
NDEs only happen when the brain is dead not when is dying.

This is bullshit and you've been corrected on it before. The brain continues to live on for about 6 minutes after cardiac arrest, during which it is accurately described as 'dying' not as 'dead'. After those 6 minutes the brain starts to become truly dead, and once vital areas of the brain have died, there is no coming back to tell the experience of an NDE. They are then dead, finis, kaput. Not before.

Quote:The brain can survive for up to about six minutes after the heart stops. The reason to learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is that if CPR is started within six minutes of cardiac arrest, the brain may survive the lack of oxygen. After about six minutes without CPR, however, the brain begins to die.

Don't you ever get tired of lying about these things?
