Rene
Jorgensen’s goal is to help you make the most informative and fascinating show
ever, and through access to extensive knowledge on the topic, Rene will work
with you to help make this possible.
You are more
than welcome to contact Rene for a one-on-one on how to create the best segment,
and you can also have a look at some of the expert segment and show resources listed here:
ABC anchor
Bob Woodruff tells CNN’s Larry King about his near death experience in Iraq
after his vehicle was hit by a road side bomb.
CNN’s Dr.
Sanjay Gupta’s segment on Cheating Death which includes the near death
experience of Laura Geraghty. Dr. Gupta explains that near death experiences
happen up to 800 times a day and that these experiences are the “perfect
intersection between science and spirituality.”
Scientific
study of near death experiences in survivors of cardiac arrest. The results of
the first major prospective study of near-death experiences, conducted over a
13-year-long period and set up in ten different hospitals in the Netherlands,
was published in the international medical journal The Lancet, vol. 358, issue 9298.
This scientific study included 344 cardiac patients, who
were successfully resuscitated after suffering cardiac arrest and compared
demographic, pharmacological, and psychological data between patients who
reported near death experiences and patients who did not after successful
resuscitation.
The study found that 62 patients, 18 percent, reported
having a near death experience and chief researcher, cardiologist Pim van Lommel, MD
concludes that, “Our results show that medical factors cannot account for the
occurrence of NDE (near death experience).”

The near death experience of Pam Reynolds from the BBC documentary The Day I Died. This is the best documented case with scientific evidence where Reynolds was clinically dead for 55 min. with both cardiac arrest and no brain activity (flat EEG), as Dr. Spetzler explains that "every measurable output" disappears "completely."
No skeptical theory to date has been
able to explain her case as most theories, such as hallucination or REM
intrusion, involve a brain that is active, and therefore, Reynolds’ case poses
the biggest challenge to science: how can people have clear conscious
experience when the brain is inactive?
Coma patient
‘plays tennis’ in new scientific study by UK/Belgium scientists lead by
neuroscientist, Dr. Adrian Owen, which was published in Science. In the study
they asked a woman in coma to image she was playing tennis which resulted in
her brain became active in FMRI, functional magnetic resonance imaging. This
study shows that science still cannot point out exactly where our consciousness
ceases to exist.
