Default The Signs That Human Consciousness Remains After Death

Newsweek
2/10/2018


Old news, but the part about activity actually spiking was news to me.

" Noble and his colleagues tested mice and zebrafish and found not just a handful, but a combined total of 1,063 genes that remained active, in some cases for up to four days after the subject had died. Not only did their activity not dissipate—it spiked.
"We didn't anticipate that," Noble told Newsweek. "Can you imagine, 24 hours after [time of death] you take a sample and the transcripts of the genes are actually increasing in abundance? That was a surprise."

"What's fascinating is that there is a time, only after you and I die, that the cells inside our bodies start to gradually go toward their own process of death."

"Parnia's research has shown that people who survive medical death frequently report experiences that share similar themes: bright lights; benevolent guiding figures; relief from physical pain and a deeply felt sensation of peace. Because those experiences are subjective, it's possible to chalk them up to hallucinations. Where that explanation fails, though, is among the patients who have died on an operating table or crash cart and reported watching—from a corner of the room, from above—as doctors tried to save them, accounts subsequently verified by the (very perplexed) doctors themselves."

Yes, this is a well-characterized cellular process known as apoptosis.
