The Anatomy Lab Phantom
Gross anatomy is where medical students learn that the dead are just bodies — inert, silent, teachable. But on her third week of dissection, something happened in the lab that made her question whether that was entirely true.

The Cuba Mission

Why cardiac arrest and irreversible death are not synonyms
A stopped heart, active resuscitation, restored circulation, and irreversible biological death describe different clinical states. Accounts that collapse them into a single phrase can sound more conclusive than the underlying record supports.
When reading near-death research, look for the monitored interval, the quality of physiological data, the timing of the interview, and whether a reported perception was independently tested. Precise language is more illuminating than dramatic language.
