Crossing Over: How Science Is Redefining Life and Death

Excerpt:

Death is “a process, not a moment,” writes critical-care physician Sam Parnia in his book Erasing Death. It’s a whole-body stroke, in which the heart stops beating but the organs don’t die immediately. In fact, he writes, they might hang on intact for quite a while, which means that “for a significant period of time after death, death is in fact fully reversible.”

How can death, the very essence of forever, be reversible? What is the nature of consciousness during that transition through the gray zone? A growing number of scientists are wrestling with such vexing questions.

That is a fascinating thought, Critter. I'm of the opinion it's cell memory, or physical memory imprints and not the soul itself. The soul moves on, but it does leave an "imprint" on the physical/material cells of the body, much as a photo imprints on film. Kind of an echo, at least that's my current opinion.
