Transcript
Is it possible for man, declared dead by all legal and medical tests, to “return” to life? Would he have any awareness during the period of death? And if so, would he remember anything?
And what about the new scientific fields of Cryonics and Cryogenics – the former being the technique of freezing newly dead bodies and keeping them “on ice” until such time as science finds a scientific means of preserving and prolonging life.
Bernhardt J. Hurwood, no stranger to literature of the bizarre and unusual, has written a fascinating book on the triumph of human survival. His case histories, all true, include:
-
The army private who returned to life – after two months of death!
-
The woman who died—and watched a surgical team work feverishly to save her life!
-
The dead man who went to his own wake!
Plus other incredible examples of man’s determination to change the accepted rules and pattern of life and death!
