However, there do remain a few pertinent questions, one of which the article mentions in passing:
Once again we have certain people that bring conclusions to the data that the data does not addressFinally, the study can't explain how people can correctly recollect what happened to them minutes after their brain activity has flatlined and CPR has been started, Parnia said.
No one can confirm or deny that life continues after death because the line boundary between the two remains too fuzzy.
A "near death" experience may be just that "NEAR" death. Science is unable to determine what constitutes death and what constitutes the beginning of conscious "life" as we understand it.
We should not push absolute materialism onto the masses just to impose a worldview. It's totally dishonest.
The only reasonable position to take here is an agnostic one. Either/Or is essentially guess work or faith in things unseen.
