The Hard Science of Reincarnation - Vice

Accounts of children who appear to recall specific details from the lives of the deceased are not uncommon, but establishing their veracity is no small thing. When 4-year-old Ryan Hammons believed himself to have lived before as the old Hollywood actor George Raft, his case was studied by the Division of Perceptual Studies at the University of Virginia School of Medicine where, despite its database of 2,200 cases, proof remains elusive. But Bruce Greyson, Near-Death Experience Pioneer, reasonably points out that "the dirty secret of neuroscience is, we can't explain consciousness inside the brain," so it's no surprise that the life/death barrier remains unknown. Greyson recalls in particular a patient who, while unconscious, witnessed his conversation 50 yards away in another room. Alex Tsakiris interviews the Doctor about this and his other thoughts on NDEs. And finally, "My soul is heavy," said one of Shakespeare's characters, which brings us nicely to 21 Grams: The Doctor Who Tried to Weigh the Soul. In the early 20th century, Dr. Duncan MacDougall created controversy and debate when he published his small-sample research, which suggested that our innermost consciousness has enough substance to register on a scale. Thought-provoking, but as yet, unproven. (LP)
