What Happens When We Die
It is equally terrifying or even a death sentence, to know the exact hour when you die. Today, however, with the development of mechanical respirators, electronic pacemakers, and other medical technologies, it has created the possibility of a greater temporal separation between various system failures. A person may slip into coma or lose consciousness a decade or more before his heart and lungs fail, for example. Meanwhile, interest in the availability of transplantable organs has provided an incentive not to delay unnecessarily in determining that a person has died. Nowadays, we have technology that is so improved that we can bring dead people back to life. That there is no medicine for death – not true! In fact, there are drugs being developed,

Considering the circumstances of an afterlife as well as near-death experiences, many – returning form the edge of life – describe intense awareness, a passage beyond the threshold of understanding. The experience leaves them confused, mixed up and horrified. Scientists have tried to track down the events in the brain of people who were brain dead for a while before being resuscitated into life. Science is now rewriting the boundaries between life and death. Researchers have examined and explored many near- and after-death situations and have explained us the science of resuscitation – what happens when we die? Resuscitation medicine is now capable of reviving people after their heart has stopped beating and their brain has flat-lined – objectively died. Patients have described their experience of that period – going beyond the verge of death, entering the domain for first few minutes or few hours of time – before they are resuscitated. It provides us indications of what we are all likely to experience when we go through death. Researchers gather scientific evidence about what happens to them during cross over both biologically and cognitively, and interview and re-interview them for consistency and if they tend to remember more in course of days. So far, all it reveals is that 80-90% people who are resuscitated do not recall memories; that they do not acknowledge visions such as bright lights, tunnels or out-of-body experience; and that there happens disruption to the memory circuits similar to that allow us to recall dreams in the following morning. Death has been a philosophical for most part, but it goes without saying that even after such efforts, the mystery of death remains as deep as ever. And in more practical way, for the benefits of the health of the body and the peace of the mind, we are better off, if we realize that God and the soul are real and the death is not the end of personal existence, but only a
