DYING TO KNOW THE TRUTH: DEATH & DYING Throughout human history, a fascination with death has been ever-present, characterized by obsession with or often fear of the end and myriad questions of what, if any, afterlife may exist for us. Together, we will explore the journey the human body will take during and after the end of life period. We will also review both clinical and biological death, including near-death experience (NDE) and out- of-body experience (OBE), situations in which one leaves their body and life behind temporarily. The information presented in this seminar will be presented from a non-sectarian, medically scientific, humanistic perspective. ‘Morbid curiosity welcome’. Mark Simpson BMedSc BEd
