Dying is the last conscious experience undergone by each person.
But what do the dying experience? In the last few decades, a good
deal of publicity has surrounded people who have been close to
death and then reported intense experiences that seem to suggest a
supernatural existence beyond death. Does the conscious mind
somehow continue to exist after the body has passed away? "Mortal
Minds" answers these questions. Dr. G. M Woerlee explains how the
normal functioning of the human body near death can generate
beliefs in the reality of the supernatural and life after death. An
anaesthesiologist with more than twenty years of hospital
experience, Dr. Woerlee has been struck over the years by the
similarities between the body's symptoms under anaesthesia and its
reactions near death. Among the issues he addresses are the
sensations of being disembodied that those near death often
describe, the perception that mind and body are separate components
of existence, whether there is such a thing as a soul, the physical
effects of decreased oxygen to the brain, and the visions that the
dying sometimes report, from rapturous experiences of eternal peace
to diabolical dreams.;While not dismissing near death experiences
as mere hallucinations, Dr. Woerlee is also careful to point out
that even powerful psychological impressions by themselves do not
constitute scientific proof of life after death. Taking this
balanced, objective stance, he succeeds in conveying a better
understanding of the dying process and helping us all to realise
the nature of these final experiences.
