That is a very poorly written article. Lot's of presumption, little science. Note how they presumed that there was no brain activity. Unless you've got someone in an MRI machine, how can you really know when the brain stops functioning after blood flow stops? And there is no mention of the people who have been resusitated with brain damage resulting in mental retardation and physical impairments due to brain damage. Is there any part of our thought process that is not dependent on the brain? Neither science nor religion has yet to answer this.

Miracle Max: He probably owes you money huh? I'll ask him.
Inigo Montoya: He's dead. He can't talk.
Miracle Max: Whoo-hoo-hoo, look who knows so much. It just so happens that your friend here is only MOSTLY dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well, with all dead there's usually only one thing you can do.
Inigo Montoya: What's that?
Miracle Max: Go through his clothes and look for loose change.

For those interested, there is a web site about NDE and the afterlife. Some of the stories on there are quite interesting.

Absolutely. No doubt about it.
I've done it many times myself.
Just introduce the concluding song and prayer.

There is a book called 90 Minutes in Heaven. Its about a guy who was in a bad car accident and was dead and then came back. Great book a must read. I work in the medical field, in the Cath Lab actually. There have been several times where we have worked on someone for an hour or so and they make it. What I mean by this is they are not breathing and they do not have a pulse, their heart is not beating, we are doing CPR and breathing for them. I would consider that pretty much dead. The only reason they come back with their brain in tact is because of good CPR and that we intubated them. Where is their soul during that time I have no idea. I don't get to talk to them later.
