Now a physician can declare someone dead based on the lack of a heart beat but we also know that the heart beat can be restored within a few minutes of the time it stops. That means the subject can have some experiences during the moments after their heart stops and the time it is restored. All this tells us is that there may be a slow fade into death during which the dead person may continue experience something even if he can no longer indicate that in any way. Kind of like some older cars will sometimes continue to sputter after the key is switched off.
Is there some larger point you want to make about this, Rikki?
Your MAY say everything.

It is obvious that when you are alive consciousness need the body and the brain to be perceived but as thousand of NDEs tell us consciousness doesn't need the brain anymore when the body-brain are no longer there.
If you refuse to believe in these NDEs that is then your problem as it is your problem to believe that NDEs are hallucinations.
Quote:Are you a rotten liar!
Look who knows so much. Well it just so happens that your NDE here is only *mostly dead* There's a BIG difference between *mostly dead* and *all dead*... *Mostly dead* is *slightly alive* Now *all dead* there's usually only one thing you can do:
And your evidence that i am a rotten liar is.......?

And your evidence that they are hallucination is.......? Shifting of the burden of proof.
Fail again surgen
You are the one who back up Sacks for keeping your so called evidence alive.
Sacks and the likes say that NDEs are hallucinations so if you back up someone idea it is you that suppose to come up with the proofs.
Quote:Oh, sorry i forgot about Sacks. Personal attack
Fail again surgen.
When i see someone who try to change a tyre without using a jack and instead try to lift the car by hand i got the right to laugh.
Sacks do exactly the same thing when he try to understand how the system works during an NDEs.
He only use the physical-mental approach while the NDEs are not physical-mental according to those who experienced these NDEs.
Quote:Delusions need a lot of mental energy to survive. Unsupported claim
After sometime the strain bring the mind to the brute realty. Unsupported claim
On the contrary the real things do not suck any energy from your mind
and therefore they last for long time. Unsupported claim
But again how would you know what is the difference between the two when your mind is confined to the physical reality only? Shifting of the burden of proof
Fail again surgen.
By backing up Sacks and the likes you claim that we are dealing with delusions.
You are not backing up your so called evidence with real evidence so if you go along this way i also have the right to state the opposite whether the opposite is true or not according to you.
Quote:You are no different from a religious person. Unsupported claim
Both of you are entrenched in dogmas. False equivalence
For you guys the establish truth is the real truth. Strawman
Sometime ago i asked a doctor the meaning of the word CANCER.
He wouldn't know. I had to explain to him. False analogy/small sample size
Do you know where the word MANGO (the fruit) come from? Red herring
You mention the word FAG and i mention other words in order to see how the real meaning change and how to see how people of today falsely think that the establish meaning is the real and original meaning.
Something wrong with this?
You got upset about it?
Mama is still there to console and comfort you surgen.
Quote:That is funny especially when this comment is coming from someone who think that this created reality is the ultimate. Strawman/Unsupported claim
Physical science is all an atheist got but this kind of science is not enough to bring peace of mind which is exactly what human being are looking for all the time consciously or unconsciously so physical science can not possibly be the ultimate.
This is an important philosophical point but what would you know about philosophy!
Quote:When the independent analysis is made using all elements necessary to carry on such an analysis i will lift up my hat and praise these people for their work. Been done
Unfortunately these researchers haven't use all elements necessary as their knowledge is confined to this material-physical world only making thus impossible to understand how the system works. Unsupported claim/appeal to special knowledge/hasty conclusion
If my conclusion is unsupported then those researchers that rely only on physical evidence would have already come up with a solution that give people peace of mind.
Unfortunately they fail so if they fail it is very likely that it is true that they haven't use the proper tools to see how the system works.
