Death Is Not Final. A Debate

Description

If consciousness is just the workings of neurons and synapses, how do we explain the phenomenon of "near-death experience"? By some accounts, about 3 percent of the U.S. population has had one: an out-of-body experience often characterized by remarkable visions and feelings of peace and joy, all while the physical body is close to death. To skeptics, there are more plausible, natural explanations, like oxygen deprivation. Is the prospect of an existence after death real, or a construct of wishful thinking about our own mortality?
