Interesting, the feature of the Paul Segall's accounts involving CPR and the history of rescusitation are of particular interest to me right now because that development coincided with Robert Moody's (famous for Life after Life) account of NDE's (he coined the phrase). Moody was on coast a few nights ago and made the point that I glocked onto for the first time, really, that CPR is what led to an explosion of NDE accounts.
NDE's, Near Death Experiences, are debatatable as hallucinations and not glimpses into another dimension but the sheer volume and similarity of anecdotal evidence surrounding NDE's is quite fascinating. The movie Flatliners explores this theme although many youtubes now provide raw-personal-accounts of NDE's that can be explored. There is an NDE Journal that provides academic level rigorous analysis too. Here's a smaple from a search I did recently...
Robert Moody's point is valid regarding the *modern scientific study* of NDEs being closely tied to advances in resuscitation. However, it's also true that anecdotal evidence and cultural understandings of death experiences go back much further. The technological advances of the mid-20th century made it possible to interview and analyze a far greater number of people who survived the experience, as well as legitimizing and popularizing the study of NDE's. It's a case of the *phenomenon* existing throughout history, but the *understanding* and *study* of it being relatively recent.
