Consciousness may continue even after death, scientists now believe.
Research into 'near-death' experiences has revealed that awareness and the mind may continue to exist after the brain has ceased to function and the body is clinically dead.
Scientists at the University of Southampton conducted a four-year study of more than 2,000 patients who had suffered cardiac arrests.
The research spanned cases at 15 hospitals in the UK, U.S. and Austria.
The findings revealed nearly 40 per cent of those who survived described some kind of 'awareness' during the time when they were clinically dead before their hearts were restarted.

Out of body: In the study, conducted by scientists from the University of Southampton, one man even recollected leaving his body entirely and watching his resuscitation from the corner of the room.
Dr Sam Parnia, a former Southampton University research fellow now based at the State University of New York, who led the study, said: 'The evidence thus far suggests that in the first few minutes after death, consciousness is not annihilated.
'Whether it fades away afterwards, we do not know, but right after death, consciousness is not lost.'
The scientists heard one man recall leaving his body entirely, watching his resuscitation from the corner of the room.
The 57-year-old social worker from Southampton was 'dead' for three minutes yet managed to recount detailed actions of the nursing staff and the sound of the machines.

Dr Parnia said: 'We know the brain can't function when the heart has stopped beating.
'But in this case conscious awareness appears to have continued for up to three minutes into the period when the heart wasn't beating, even though the brain typically shuts down within 20-30 seconds after the heart has stopped.
'This is significant, since it has often been assumed that experiences in relation to death are likely hallucinations or illusions, occurring either before the heart stops or after the heart has been successfully restarted, but not an experience corresponding with ‘real’ events when the heart isn’t beating.
'Furthermore, the detailed recollections of visual awareness in this case were consistent with verified events.'
A total of 2,060 cardiac arrest patients were studied.
Of that number, 330 survived and 140 said that had been partly aware at the time of resuscitating.

Gradually I have said it before and I am saying it again, science will replace religion in the business of leading man to God.
Atheists, it will be so sad for you to discover the truth about GOD only when it is too late.

Theory as propounded by the Lord Jesus in John ch 3 is in the process of being proved by science.

Accept JESUS now next moment may be too late.

This should read 'Science has proven there's consciousness after a Cardiac Arrest or Clinical death'.

You lot shouldn't delude people with baseless lead stories culled from deluded westerners.

There is a huge difference between a clinical death and legal death.

Cardiac arrest occurs when the electrical system to the heart malfunctions and suddenly becomes very irregular. The heart beats dangerously fast. The ventricles may flutter or quiver (ventricular fibrillation), and blood is not delivered to the body. In the first few minutes, the greatest concern is that blood flow to the brain will be reduced so drastically that a person will lose consciousness. At this stage, the victim is not legally dead. An emergency treatment in the form of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and defibrillation would see the victim bounce back to life.

Clinical death is neither necessary nor sufficient for a determination of legal death.

You had better go and check the story from the source very well. The story is talking about a conclusion of a detailed scientific study that spanned 4 years and not arm chair theory that we are familiar with around here.
The research question is a globally famous one in the scientific community. The topic literarily describes the findings of the study.

Let me get this straight. You people are claiming that the fact that a dying brain that has lost its blood supply and is malfunctioning because it's starved of oxygen and nutrients sees some strange things is your irrefutable proof of life after death?

So if I were to bash you on the head with a baseball bat and you saw stars, what would that be proof of?

My point is the study group has come up with a conclusion that is consistent with scientific tradition which is globally acceptable. So if you have your own scientific proof why not publish it, instead of a mere speculation and armchair theorizing that is not even acceptable to your next door neighbour.

So if some oyimbo "scientists" did faulty research using a nonsense methodology to reach an invalid conclusion, you cannot use your own brain to see that it is wrong? Why do you religious people always have to swallow everything you read without question? Why can't you filter things through your brain and apply some scepticism?

Seriously, its like you guys don't understand how atheists think. You have to critically evaluate every claim before you decide whether its believable or not. It doesn't matter if it was a big pastor or famous scientist that said it, if it doesn't make sense then it doesn't make sense.

So how does the topic literarily describe the finndings of the study?

The report has it that scientists at the University of Southampton conducted a four-year study of more than 2,000 patients who had suffered cardiac arrests. Victims who saw bright light whilst unconscious.

Tell me how that correlates with the lead story which reads 'Science Has Proven There Is Consciousness After Death'?

Abi are you trying to tell me that legal death which demands the termination of every biological funtion in a living organism can be interwoven for a mere blackout - clinical death?

Is this not the same people that said the earth is flat somtimes ago , ... The point is science can be faulty many times !!! But before they claim the earth is a solid circle (sphere) , scripture has already prove that in Isaiah 40:22 , So Here is the Authentic Prove from God himself ? " the living know that they will die, but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all .. All that your hands find to do, do with your very power for there is no knowledge nor wisdom in grave, the place to which you are going" Ecc 9:5,10
