Scientists restore some functions in a pig's brain hours after death

Quote:

Circulation and cellular activity were restored in a pig's brain four hours after its death, a finding that challenges long-held assumptions about the timing and irreversible nature of the cessation of some brain functions after death, Yale scientists report April 18 in the journal Nature. The brain of a postmortem pig obtained from a meatpacking plant was isolated and circulated with a specially designed chemical solution. Many basic cellular functions, once thought to cease seconds or minutes after oxygen and blood flow cease, were observed, the scientists report.

A nail in the coffin of the claim of NDE proponents that the brain functions are completely dead after mere seconds or minutes without oxygen and therefore NDEs are a proof of a afterlife.
