@BillRM,
Quote:People who have returned from death in hospitals
have reported that their choices of religions did not affect them,
tho atheists have had some complaints.

I remain
unwilling to accept your change in the definition of death.
I will continue to accept the
old one with which I grew up, to wit:
no EEG, no EKG, no respiration for a while.
My surgeon said that I died twice during abdominal surgery in 2005.
I have no memory of those deaths (unlike some people whom I have met),
but I have had several out-of-body experiences.
Most of them were when I was on-the-job in court,
actively taking testimony from witnesses; one was in a restaurant (not Hawkeye's), at lunch.
I like them. Thay feel good. I regret that thay were of as short duration as thay were; kinda fun.
In both situations, it is a matter of separation of consciousness
(partial or complete) from the human body.
