Death Is Not Final – IQ2 Debates
If consciousness is just the workings of neurons and synapses, how do we explain the phenomenon of near-death experience? By some accounts, about 3% of the U.S. population has had one: an out-of-body experience often characterized by remarkable visions and feelings of peace and joy, all while the physical body is close to death. To skeptics, there are more plausible, natural explanations, like oxygen deprivation. Is the prospect of an existence after death “real” and provable by science, or a construct of wishful thinking about our own mortality?

I thought Eben Alexander was exposed as a fraud?

It will be interesting if they bring up that info. Which they should if he appeals to his own alleged experience as evidence.
 
I had the wrong time up there. It's at 6:45 PM ET, meaning it just started.
