> >David: Yes, but, how do you explain the events of the NDE while the brain is shown to be totally inactive? Eben Alexander, the academic neurosurgeon was in coma with flat line EEG for 7 days. (Proof of Heaven, 2012) His is a veridical experience, finding a sister in Heaven he did not know about. All the books I have mentioned strongly suggest that consciousness functionally survives clinical death.

> Tony: Are you saying that all sensory and extra-sensory data processing occurs in the brain? That is quite an assumption. Cellular Memory would show that assumption to be erroneous as well.
 
> Tony: I suppose that what I am saying is, the concept that death occurs at the moment of the loss of brain function is not a sound theory.-The article itself indicates very little support for your use of the cellular memory theory. Anecdotal and Six percent evidence, and not widely accepted:-"The cell memory phenomenon, while still not considered 100 percent scientifically-validated, is still supported by several scientists and physicians. The behaviors and emotions acquired by the recipient from the original donor are due to the combinatorial memories stored in the neurons of the organ donated. Heart transplants are said to be the most susceptible to cell memory where organ transplant recipients experienced a change of heart. In a study published in the journal of Quality of Life Research, researchers interviewed 47 patients who received a heart transplant over a period of two years in Vienna, Austria. Researchers found that 79 percent of patients did not feel that their personality changed post-surgery, 15 percent experienced a change in personality due to the life-threatening event, and six percent did confirm a drastic change in their personality due to their new heart. While the percentage of personality changes as a result of an organ transplant hints to be insignificant, further research has been done to validate the existence of this concept."
