Life-after-death debate rises again

A British scientist studying heart attack patients says he is finding evidence that suggests that consciousness may continue after the brain has stopped functioning and a patient is clinically dead.

Ketamine has the effect of simulating an out of body experience, some people relate to having a life after death experience..
