German Scientists Prove There is Life After Death

Berlin: A team of psychologists and medical doctors associated with the Technische Universität of Berlin, have announced this morning that they had proven by clinical experimentation, the existence of some form of life after death.This astonishing announcement is based on the conclusions of a study using a new type of medically supervised near-death experiences, that allow patients to be clinically dead for almost 20 minutes before being brought back to life.
This controversial process that was repeated on 944 volunteers over that last four years, necessitates a complex mixture of drugs including epinephrine and dimethyltryptamine, destined to allow the body to survive the state of clinical death and the reanimation process without damage. The body of the subject was then put into a temporary comatic state induced by a mixture of other drugs which had to be filtered by ozone from his blood during the reanimation process 18 minutes later.
The extremely long duration of the experience was only recently made possible by the development of a new cardiopulmonary recitation (CPR) machine called the AutoPulse. This type of equipment has already been used over the last few years, to reanimate people who had been dead for somewhere between 40 minutes to an hour.
Near-death experiences have been hypothesized in various medical journals in the past, as having the characteristics of hallucinations, but Dr Ackermann and his team, on the contrary, consider them as evidence for the existence of the afterlife and of a form of dualism between mind and body.
The team of scientists led by Dr Berthold Ackermann, has monitored the operations and have compiled the testimonies of the subjects. Although there are some slight variations from one individual to another, all of the subjects have some memories of their period of clinical death. and a vast majority of them described some very similar sensations.
Most common memories include a feeling of detachment from the body, feelings of levitation, total serenity, security, warmth, the experience of absolute dissolution, and the presence of an overwhelming light.
The scientists say that they are well aware the many of their conclusions could shock a lot of people, like the fact that the religious beliefs of the various subjects seems to have held no incidence at all, on the sensations and experiences that they described at the end of the experiment. Indeed, the volunteers counted in their ranks some members are a variety of Christian churches, Muslims, Jews, Hindus and atheists.
“I know our results could disturb the beliefs of many people” says Mr Ackermann. “But in a way, we have just answered one of the greatest questions in the history of mankind, so I hope these people will be able to forgive us. Yes, there is life after death and it looks like this applies to everyone.”

An article circulating online claims that German scientists have discovered scientific proof of life afterdeath. Is this article real or a hoax?

[size=20]The Story is Fake[/size]
This fictional article was written by World News Daily Report , a website which is known to post fake news in the name of satire. As with many of these recent sites that have adopted a humorless breed of satire, a story will sometimes begin a viral spread through social media as people mistake it for reliable and genuine news. Perhaps manipulating preconceived notions and.strong beliefs also plays a role in the spreading of viral.memes. It seems that people want to believe these stories are true.

life-after-death
[b] Without a doubt, this story is false, though. One need only as far as the disclaimer page posted at the top of the World News Daily Report website. Here is what is says:
“World News Daily Report is a news and political satire web publication, which may or may not use real names, often in semi-real or mostly fictitious ways. All news articles contained within worldnewsdailyreport.com arefiction, and presumably fake news. Any. resemblance to the truth is purely coincidental, except for all references to politicians and/or celebrities, in which case they are based on real people, but still based almost entirely in fiction .”


Synopsis
The fabricated piece relates the story of a team of German scientists conducting clinical experiments on near death experience (NDE) at a university in Berlin. It goes on to claim that the four year study included 944 volunteers who were brought to a state of clinical death for up to 20 minutes and then revived using a combination of drugs and state-of-the-art medical equipment. These volunteers then supposedly
described vague NDEs during their period of clinical death, which included common NDE components such as out-of-body experience, feelings of being at peace, and witnessing the presence of a bright light.

Article Anomalies
[b] If the disclaimer is not enough to convince people, here is a list of problems with the articles account:
Nonexistent doctor – A Google search on the doctor heading the research, Dr. Berthold Ackermann, reveals no such person. The only results returned are those from worldnewsdailyreport and people who have shared the original article.

Volunteers – Who in their right mind would volunteer for an experiment that brought about. clinical death? Especially for a period of up to 20 minutes. Would you volunteer for such a
study?

Ethics – There is no way that an institutional review board (IRB) at any university would license an experiment that achieved a state of clinical death (even if temporary) in human volunteers. Such an experiment would be a major unethical liability.

Unpredictable/immeasurable variables – Real scientific studies operate on the manipulation of predictable and measurable variables.

Significant statistical changes in one variable that occur due to manipulation of another variable constitute evidence towards or against a hypothesis. In this instance, neither death or near death experience is a predictable or measurable variable that could be accurately manipulated in a way that gleaned statisticalvdata to prove belief in the afterlife.[/b]

Near Death Experience
Despite the fictional nature of this article, near death experience is a phenomenon reported by many people worldwide. It seems to transpire in people of every culture, religion, and belief system with a handful of common elements, yet each account seems be somewhat filtered through the perceptual framework of the individual’s particular culture or religion. Due to the subjective and unpredictable nature of these experiences, it is very difficult to establish any scientific evidence. However, several scientists and doctors have compiled NDE reports and written books on the subject. Raymond Moody and Jeffrey Long are two
such doctors.

For reliable information on NDEs the following websites can be helpful:

Near Death Experience Research Foundation –
A site run by Dr. Jeffrey Long

International Association for Near Death Studies


To be fair, skeptics have dismissed NDEs as hallucinations or false memories brought on by States associated with a dying brain. They also argue that the brain may somehow still be temporarily active when a person is first considered to be clinically dead.

In other words, perhaps the person was not really dead. The Skeptics Dictionary maintains a page devoted to NDEs which can be found here.

Bottom Line
[b] The recent article claiming that German scientists have proven the existence of life after death is fake. A disclaimer on the article’s website of origin admits that.they only publish fictional news stories that are meant. to be taken as satire. Additionally, there are a number
of problems with the article’s portrayal of science.
Although real near death experiences have been
reported from all over the world, there is a lack of
scientific evidence in relation to the phenomenon, and
skeptics have discharged such accounts as false and/
or hallucinatory.
