Has anyone heard of people who died and were revived by doctors? I have heard you can be clinically dead for ?

Question

up to 30 minutes and then be revived by doctors. So my questions is, are the people who have near-death experiences once clinically dead, (seeing their body from above, going through a tunnel, a blinding light, feelings of peace and love, seeing dead relatives, etc.), actually experiencing this with a soul or spirit, since the body is actually dead. Does this prove there is an afterlife? What about that book by Don Piper, "90 minutes in heaven". He was dead for 90 minutes and came back to life. Was he really dead? Was this story proven? How long after death can you last and then be revived again? If you experience anything after being dead, is this proof of an afterlife, or not? I am looking for serious answers from doctors or other professionals.

Answer 1

Okey, I'm not a doctor or professional, but my grandmother was pronounced dead when her heart stopped beating for 10 minutes. She was suffering from leukemia.

She said that she did see it as a light and a tunnel. Just like you have heard people say before.

She came back to life and she said if fealt like she was floating. Even as she regained consciousness and started talking to us, she still felt as if she was floating above the bed and asked my father to "bring her down"

Answer 2

my uncle had a heart attack while play ice hockey and he was actually dead on the ice, but was revived by those paddle things [ can't remember what they are called.] but he said he didn't experience anything, it was like being unconscious he said.

Answer 3

There's dead and there's dead.

Clinically dead, just means no heartbeat and no brainwaves.

As opposed to brain dead meaning actually dead, or cellular death which means cellular activity has ceased and decay proper has begun.

Memories are formed by brain cells signaling chemically and forming connections to each other. Someone who was actually dead shouldn't have a physical memory of being dead.

The tunnel of light, floating over the body stuff can be replicated via drugs and or magnetic stimulation of parts of the brain. Put simply, no, it doesn't prove anything, it's a waking dream manufactured by stressed brains. There is no time index embedded in memory, no way to know when NDE memories form. The brain doesn't have separate  areas for processing reality and manufacturing fantasies, it uses the same areas to see as it does to imagine seeing.

When i was browsing the net i came across these. these r really great experiences of the people. i don't know how to answer ur question. but u can go through these.i think that u cannot be revived. it must be a state close to death that u feel as if someone has died but usually it is not death.

Answer 5

my art teacher once said her heart stopped while she was on the operating table and she remembers looking down on herself before she was revived.

Answer 6

The chances of a successful resuscitation drop rapidly over time, with less than 1% survival after 15 minutes or so. It's a confusing thing to look at, because CPR does continue perfusion to the organs, though not very well, so the starting point for being "dead" isn't an exact time.

No, that isn't proof of an afterlife. I'm a religious person and believe strongly that there is an afterlife, but it's also quite possible that the perceptions are simply a symptom, hallucination, or dream, induced by the decreased brain perfusion. Short of the Second Coming, it's an unprovable proposition.

Answer 7

well apparently its just like fainting, you just faint but your heart also stops beating but then the doctors revive you and it just like waking up again from a faint

Answer 8

This kind of stuff can never be proven or disproven.

I would say doctors are totally ignorant of this so they would not be the ones to inquire with. If you link the story I will look at it and write more.
