Many researchers believe that human conscience still remains alive
even after death
Ljubomir Cerbic from Serbia remained neither alive nor dead within
two days after he had suffered a serious heart attack. The man died
17 times but each time doctors revived him; this is an unprecedented
medical case. "Each time I was standing in front of the Apostle
Peter's Gates doctors raised me from the dead," Cerbic said after he
regained consciousness.
Pensioner Alexey Yefremov from Russia's Novosibirsk had several skin
grafting operations after severe burns. The man's heart stopped
during one of the operations. Doctors managed to raise him from the
dead just in 35 minutes, which is atypical because usually clinical
death lasts for 3-6 minutes, and then human brain suffers
irreversible changes. But Alexey Yefremov is of sound mind after the
clinical death.
Clinical death is a marginal condition when doctors register no heart
activity, breathing; functions of the nervous system fade, but
metathetical processes still go on. This condition lasts just for
several minutes and then biological death comes when recovery is
impossible.
Doctors admit that clinical death is still a mystery for them.
Experts stick to various opinions as concerning experience that
people have during clinical death. After-death experience that people
often have during clinical death gives rise to the most heated
disputes. The phenomenon first came to light in 1976 when Doctor
Raymond Moody published his "Life After Life" with evidence of about
150 people who experienced death or near-death themselves or knew of
such experience from those people who were already dead.
Some people who happily rose from the dead told they saw some bright
light during clinical death and met relatives and friends who were
already dead by that moment. Others said they remembered episodes of
the Judgment of God. Some patients said they left their bodies but
stayed nearby, or traveled somewhere and got to some other reality.
Moody's book caused serious confusion among average men as well as
among scientists. Does it mean that afterlife actually exists and
death is just a transition to a better life? Moody was not the only
researcher who conducted similar investigations; other researchers
also came to the conclusion that there was no death at all.
Soviet reanimator Academician Negovsky explained the afterlife
experience in his book "Clinical Death As Seen by
Reanimator:" "Unfortunately, researchers in foreign countries
(especially in the USA) are often inclined to interpret such
phenomena as proof of existence of the other world. At that,
researchers are guided by stories told by patients who experienced
the near-death condition. They treat stories told by different
patients (these stories are often identical) as the argument.
However, this is a really poor argument, as the pathological product
of dying or reviving brain is of the same type with people in
different countries. The evolution maturity of brain is practically
the same everywhere. The brain structure is standard which means that
the patterns of brain"s death or reviving are typical as well."
Besides, the academician said he never heard his patients tell
stories about their near-death experience before they rose from the
dead. Negovsky said that hallucination could occur during near-death
condition, but no clinical death is registered at this moment. The
academician added that people could not perceive the outer world
during clinical death because the cerebral cortex is inactive at
that. "We may suppose that brain revives after clinical death and
goes through the basic stages that it had experienced while dying;
that is why people may have some experience typical of agony." The
Soviet academician also explained the phenomenon of "light at the end
of the tunnel": he said it is "tube" vision that arises as a result
of hypoxia in the occipital lobe cortex.
Russian reanimator Nikolay Gubin believes that the tunnel phenomenon
is the result of toxic psychosis; and American doctor E.Rowdin
supports this opinion. Patients say that they see episodes from
various periods of their lives when they die. Doctors suppose that
probably dying begins with newer structures of the brain and ends
with the older ones. However, reviving of the brain is a reverse
process where older parts in the cerebral cortex revive first. That
is why episodes from earlier periods of life come back before others
during reviving.
Two years ago, Swiss researchers claimed they found out how people
leave their physical bodies during clinical death. They say one
convolution in the right part of the brain is responsible for this
sensation. They said the convolution collects information from
different parts of the brain to form an idea of where the human body
is at some particular moment. At that, signals of some nerves mat
follow a wrong trajectory; as a result the brain forms a wrong
picture when people see themselves as from outside.
But some phenomena of the afterlife experience are still a mystery
even now. Doctors cannot explain how blind people could saw what was
going on in the operating-room at the moment they were dying. In
fact, a research conducted by American Doctor Kenneth Ring proves the
phenomenon was registered with 200 blind men and women.
However, there are some scientists who explain afterlife not with
physiological processes going on in the human brain. Psychologist
Watson thinks that people recollect their birth while dying. He says
that people see death for the first time in delivery when we come to
this world. It is also supposed that such visions are connected with
molecular and atomic changes in the energetic cover of the body. This
structure also dies when a man dies; at that it produces corpuscular
radiation which people treat as strange visions.
Researches of unusual conditions during clinical death are still
popular. Today, many researchers believe that human conscience still
remains alive even after death. Leading doctor from the Southampton
hospital Sam Parnia claims there is no doubt that some people still
can reflect and recollect when their brain no longer functions. The
doctor and his colleagues insist that the conscience, or the soul, of
a patient still think and meditate even when the heart and the brain
do not function and the patient does not breathe. Academician with
the Russian Academy of Sciences Natalya Bekhtereva also believes that
life still continues in some form after death.
Today, there is no serious prove or refutation to the after-life
theory, as nobody has ever returned from "the land of death"
(clinical death is not ultimate death). It should be mentioned that
not all patients who rose from the dead remember their experience.
There are people who saw neither tunnels, nor light or dead
relatives. They saw nothing and did not leave the body during
clinical death. But many people state they now after clinical death
have different views on life. They appreciate life and feel they are
no longer afraid of death. One patient said he treats life as a
precious gift and benefits from every moment of it.
