Make no mistake the video only proves that Dr. Parnia has stumbled across a fool-proof way of validating the concept of coming back from death, or afterlife if there is any, there still exists no evidence of afterlife. If there is any such testament that is unearthed any time soon, then it shall further our understanding of ‘rebirth’. For afterlife would mean that you have a good amount of memories from your previous chapter in another mortal coil, just waiting for some experience to unlock the memories for you. Also, existence comes with the virtue of fear of death; all living beings have a natural urge to exist, even when they are voluntarily ending their life. However, this is in conflict with the individuals who have ‘experienced’ afterlife as they have then gone on to lead reckless death-defying lifestyles. A person if they are reborn again post-afterlife, is again in fear of death; shouldn’t they feel as death-defiant who have cheated death and come back to tell the story?

Afterlife, a tunnel with a light at the end promising serenity; or a never-ending void waiting for your consciousness to join it at death only so it can be ripped away from the former again to be put into another infant for whom life is about to start a new chapter? Alas, we do not have the answer, but are one step closer than we were to finding it.
