Flatliners: in a hospital near you
Article Abstract:
The first clinical test of the existence of near-death experiences is being undertaken in a large hospital in a city in the UK. This test is simple, scientifically acceptable and does not directly interact with patients. It involves using cardboard shapes attached to the walls of the hospital's wards. These shapes have something that can only be seen by a person floating at ceiling height. Therefore, a patient who is able to state what this thing is must have had the experience of floating above their body.
