ARRGgggg...
I did intend on commenting on the show last evening......
I thought it was quite interesting how they prorated Meredith's "out of body/close death scene....... Most especially how the passing of her mother and her KNOWING when she came too....
Perhaps Skunk DR. or another medical person can comment on the reality of or lack of that is.... :scratch: My mother had (2) out of body experiences prior to her passing.....[/QUOTE]
I didn't see the show. There has been some interesting research into the near death experience. People across different cultures seem to have the 'light at the end of the tunnel' experience;the thinking is that this is a visual hallucination induced by hypoxia. That rationale comes from the fact that subjects that take LSD, psilocybin, peyote, etc frequently have the same sensation of floating through a tunnel toward a light...of course, they are not hypoxic, but simply simmering in a stew of neurotransmitters. The other out of body phenomena, like looking down at your body as it is dying is more difficult to explain.
