Radiation oncologist Dr. Jeffrey Long presents scientific evidence supporting the reality of near death experiences. Long argues that more scientific proof exists for NDEs than for effective treatments of certain cancer types. In 1998, Long and his wife Jody launched the Near Death Experience Research Foundation to provide a platform where people who experienced NDEs could document their stories. Long draws from more than 1,600 verified accounts of individuals who report dying and returning to life. The book builds its case through first-hand testimony from these experiencers. Long systematically analyzes these accounts to construct what he considers the strongest scientific argument for the validity of near death experiences. The work offers readers a medical professional's perspective on evidence suggesting consciousness may survive physical death.
