4 out of 5 stars Intriguing   July 9, 2008
 5 out of 5 found this review helpful

Peter Fenwick is a Neuropsychiatrist and is considered to the leading British clinical authority on the process of dying including end of life experiences, actual death experiences and temporary death experiences. This is not a clinical study as such because it relies on anecdotal evidence of something that cannot be imperically measured. What Dr. Fenwick does is to group together the variety of experiences from carers, family members and what is intriguing is the remarkable similarity of content. Intriguing and interesting.


4 out of 5 stars The Art (or Science?) of Dying.   July 5, 2008
 4 out of 6 found this review helpful

A fascinating book which contains much persuasive anecdotal material. Unfortunately in Chapter 11 the authors feel they have to deal with the question of paradigm shift in the scientific community and their philosophical (I cannot speak for their scientific) arguments are less successful. They MAY be justified in their conclusions - I pray that they are - but there is a long journey ahead before any meaningful PROOF can be attained. Nonetheless, a very significant contribution to the debate.
