What about reports made by persons who were revived after being reported to be dead and who spoke of another life? . . . . . . . Normally, after a person stops breathing and the heart-beat ceases, it is several minutes before gradual cessation of the life-force in the body cells begins. If the body is subjected to severe cold, that process can be delayed for hours. for this reason, it is sometimes possible to revive persons by means of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. They were what is termed clinically dead, but their body cells were still alive. Many persons revived from clinical death remember nothing. Others report experiencing a floating sensation. Some say they saw beautiful things; others were terrified by their experience. Is there an explanation for any of these experiences? . . . . . . The medical editor of The Arizona Republic wrote: When physical prowess is at its lowest ebb, as under anesthesia, or the result of disease or injury, automatic control of bodily functions diminishes accordingly. Thus, the neuro-hormones and catecholamines of the nervous system are released and pour out in uncontrolled quantity. The result, among other manifestations, is the hallucination, rationalized after returning to consciousness, of having died and returned to life.------May 28, 1977, p.
