First published 2014
Death is not a single moment but an ongoing process that can be reversed, argues Dr. Sam Parnia in this exploration of cutting-edge medical research. Traditional beliefs about mortality crumble as Parnia examines innovative techniques that bring patients back from clinical death. Dramatic cooling of body temperature and other methods now allow doctors to restart both body and mind well after death appears to have begun. Yet these proven techniques reach only half the hospitals across the United States and Europe. Parnia investigates what happens to human consciousness during the dying process and beyond. His research opens a window into the true nature of mind and suggests a future where death loses its finality. The book traces how modern science approaches the oldest human mystery and points toward discoveries that could reshape our understanding of life itself.
