This chapter explores the evolving understanding of death through innovative research in resuscitation medicine. It highlights the transformative contributions of a leading medical researcher and examines the implications of reviving patients declared clinically dead.

Most of us have no idea what will happen when we die. But some do—people who actually started the process of dying and then came back with remarkable stories—like meeting dead relatives. Science is not only extending the lives of patients who’ve been declared clinically dead; it’s also beginning to tell us what happens in near-death experiences.
