Scientist claims consciousness can exist outside of brain

Stub your toe? That always hurts like a bitch.

I hate that too. I got a shale bar dropped on my big toe once, and man did it fuckin hurt. It was about twenty two years ago and the nail is just about fully grown back.
 
As an agnostic, I like to keep an open mind about all things parapsychological and spiritual, but I have very strong doubts about the existence of an afterlife. Although I admit there are many things which completely defy scientific explanation.

I think litster "warrior_queen" got it right when she gave her hypothesis on the afterlife. She mentioned something about having died and was revived by medics, and did not have any cognitive recollection of the time interval in which she was dead. I wasn't able to dig up the thread I made about the afterlife, maybe I'll look harder.

Carl Sagan maintained his atheistic views on god and the afterlife even while laying on his deathbed.

I think this Stuart Hammeroff guy is nuts, wants attention, and grant money. He cannot prove any of his theories. Plus the mainstream scientific community cites "severely flawed" science whenever referring to him.

We all have to die, but I want to die suddenly and unexpectedly (preferably in my sleep) without the absolute terror and anxiety of knowing that I'm going to, like dying from a terminal illness.

I'll tell you when I was revived, (seriously) I don't remember anything unusual happening except that I woke up in the hospital.
 
You'll need some sort of power supply, or an interface, and a brain worth the effort.

Have you ever followed your breath?
