OK, so I'm still waiting for the results of Sam Parnia's Aware study, he keeps pushing it back. However, he has written a new book, "The Lazarus Effect" which is due out some time soon. It can be pre ordered on amazon:
www.amazon.co.uk/The-Lazarus-Effect-Rewriting-Boundaries/dp/1846043077
I noticed someone has posted some interesting insights into this new book. Basically he's saying that the blurb for the new book is all about how our brains take ages to die and can be resuscitated hours after "brain death". There is nothing in the blurb about successful Aware results, the reality of the NDE, life after death etc. So the conclusion is that the Aware study has failed to prove anything much, and we will find this out in Jan 2013, when the new book is released.

Thoughts?
The book has a publication date of 7 Mar 2013. None of the official descriptions for this book mentions any successful AWARE results, or even any veridical NDEs of any sort. If the AWARE study had provided any evidence at all for an afterlife you can bet it would be heavily featured in the advertising. So I am guessing that the AWARE study was a monumental failure.
Thought as much. :-(
The set up was bound to fail. It was too inside the box... no pun intended.
Skeptics' Societies will love this guy. :|
Oh, so many run with closed eyes, they wonder why they fall on that they didn't see.
One of the skeptics rules?
:-D
