I thought they already did that.Next, we should waste taxpayer dollars and fund research to find out if hallucinogenic drugs prove that toasters can talk.

This headline is wrong on several points.First hint of 'life after death' in biggest ever scientific study on subject
You are, of course, right. This article is only addressing the reports of those who were to the point clinical death for a short time but were revived. The serious study I mentioned is examining what is referred as "out of body experience" that patients report occurred while they were "clinically dead" and people who want to believe in life after death cite as proof since Aunt Mabel doesn't appear to be much help.More than that, these are talking of the peri-mortem experiences of people who did not actually die.
"Life after death' would be when you see Aunt Mabel in the hallway 10 years after she died and she tells you where she buried the jewellery. When you check, it's there. And that has a couple of alternate explanations.
Much as it would be lovely to believe it, the persistence of personality after death would be very hard to test and isn't addressed by any of these attempts.
First hint of 'life after death' in biggest ever scientific study

Death is a depressingly inevitable consequence of life, but now scientists believe they may have found some light at the end of the tunnel.
The largest ever medical study into near-death and out-of-body experiences has discovered that some awareness may continue even after the brain has shut down completely.
It is a controversial subject which has, until recently, been treated with widespread scepticism.
But scientists at the University of Southampton have spent four years examining more than 2,000 people who suffered cardiac arrests at 15 hospitals in the UK, US and Austria.
And they found that nearly 40 per cent of people who survived described some kind of ‘awareness’ during the time when they were clinically dead before their hearts were restarted.
holy crap what poor attention to detail from you.Holy cow. Talk about bad reading comprehension, all of you.
The comments are THAT IS NOT LIFE AFTER DEATH THAT IS POINTING OUT THAT "CLINICAL DEATH" IS NOT NECESSARILY PERMANENT DEATH - NEVER HAS "CLINICAL DEATH" MEANT "BRAIN NO LONGER FUNCTIONING AT ALL", as the article clarly intended to indicate.The research means your brain knows what is going on after customary criteria of death are met.
the research is saying, to religious believers, that science has proven that life exists after the brain dies, proving heaven and jesus.It's like talking to religious believers. Back up. Read again. What is the research saying?
