Medics have been urged to reconsider our final moments as a ‘gradual, interruptible process’ — and reconsider how long they spend trying to resuscitate patients

    Sure, bring them back after they realize heaven and hell are bullshit.

    Electrical activity in dead brains is just chemical potentials that take a while to break down. No one, ever, has actually come back from actual death.

      This isn’t really about coming back but about how long it takes to completely go

    I’m not looking forward to dying.

    I’m fine with afterwards, it’s the process that I really, really don’t want to deal with. I’ve been dead before, we all have, it was fine. We’ll be fine, you won’t worry or feel bad at all, for like… forever. But man, I really don’t want to be locked in my body in a hospital bed for 3 weeks with inadequate painkillers and no way to do anything about it.

      Yeah, the process is bad. Simply not existing seems fine. I seem fine with it before birth, so. If it’s not instantaneous and painless…eurgh no thanks.

    Considering low oxygen to the brain after 6 minutes results in brain damage occuring, would you really want to be brought back a vegetable?
