DYING DAY

Near-death experiences are real and we have the proof, say scientists

For decades near-death experiences like Jeanette’s have been written off as delusions by scientists. They are dismissed as no more than the last twitches of a dying brain.
Modern science has no place for mysticism and the paranormal. But now a group of British researchers are challenging the scientific establishment by launching a major study into near-death experiences.
They hope to settle once and for all the question of whether there truly is life after death. “We now have the technology and scientific knowledge to begin exploring the ultimate question,” says Dr Sam Parnia, leader of the research team at London’s Hammersmith Hospital.
“To be honest, I started off as a sceptic but having weighed up all the evidence I now think that there is something going on.

You can find a link to an excellent radio interview with Dr. Parnia
http://www.iands.org/nde_archives/near-death_experience_(nde)_video_and_audio_accounts/
This is on the website of the International Association for Near-Death Studies at www.iands.org. They are a highly credible source of research about NDEs.

Other articles of interest are under the Research tab , particularly the two written by Dr. Peter Fenwick and Dr. Pim Van Lommel, at http://www.iands.org/research/important_studies.

I am a member of the above association because I am interested in the topic. To join is inexpensive, and they keep you up-to-date with the latest NDE research along with e-mails of experiencer accounts every month.
