What Doctors in City Center, Katowice Have Seen That Science Can't Explain
What does a child who has never been taught about death, heaven, or the afterlife report after being resuscitated from cardiac arrest? Researchers including Dr. Melvin Morse and Dr. P.M.H. Atwater have documented children's near-death experiences and found that they share the core features of adult NDEs — the tunnel, the light, the encounter with deceased relatives — despite the children's lack of cultural conditioning or expectation. These pediatric NDEs are among the most evidentially significant cases in the literature, because they eliminate the hypothesis that NDEs are products of religious expectation. Physicians' Untold Stories includes accounts from physicians in City Center, Katowice and elsewhere who have cared for children who returned from clinical death with stories of beauty, love, and light. For City Center, Katowice families, these accounts are profoundly comforting.
