That someone tests clinically dead for a few minutes does not address that the cells do not instantly die.
The process that restarts the body could not take place if the body were truly dead.
Your beliefs are harmless. In the meantime, I will try to relieve
the emotional pain of those who fear the discontinuation
of their existence merely because of the future non-functioning
of their material bodies when thay wear out.

In other words, you prefer fairy tales.
I prefer
to remember what I have experienced a few times
and to be influenced thereby. I prefer to bear in mind that my
experiences were consonant with those of others whose were
of greater depth and duration than mine were.
I sense that u
actively desire to believe the fairy tale
that your very existence will
end merely
because your outer covering falls apart -- the same as if u believed
that your actual existence depended upon the competent functioning of your car
or upon the structural integrity of your shoes.
In other words, I sense that u 'd be disappointed if I proved it to u.
That strikes me as
odd, tho harmless; a desire for passive suicide.
