Trial will put humans into suspended animation

What do the NDE proponents think of this? Will we hear about OBEs and veridical perception in these extremely close to death patients?

Maybe? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Sounds a lot like what Pam Reynolds went through, so there's a chance. If they happen, whether we ever hear about them depends greatly on willingness to report them, as always.

I think Parnia is launching a new in hospital study on just that, reported in his very recent conference, (hat tip to Ben’s blog Aware of Aware), plenty of discussion about these new portable bypass/cooling machines being used by emergency attenders on site at the conference... already used regularly in France apparently...

Personally I think the world is going a bit nutty... In a hospital setting, Parnia’s Aware II only actually recruited and interviewed approximately 1% of the approx 4500 cardiac arrest cases that occurred... because 99% either can’t be resuscitated, or die shortly after resuscitation. At the conference they said just to connect you to one of those machines was 20k USD.

there's clearly a disconnect between self-reported NDEs and the number of deep NDEs in the prospective studies.

Personally I think the world is going a bit nutty...

Isn't it!
