17hours brain dead woman 59 comes back to life

 :o

Anyone heard about it? Any info?

Thanks,

Hi,
 
:-?  I can't find any sites where she speaks yet of her experience.  Alot of testimonies are coming from people who dropped off their charts for a few minutes and experienced life later, but She must get a prize for the longest time 'over there.'
 
You know that these experiences are called NDEs ? At least 1/2 million references are on the web---45 million if you search just NDE without the s.
That's what so amazing , SL !  'The veil keeps thinning' between the world of afterlife and physical life. In the last few months I've talked to several souls who recently passed over, verified by relatives--I never would have thought that is possible!  :o  :o
 
You're too humble, by the way. It must be that monk's robe and hood does it.  Any topic you bring that refers to the afterlife can go up on that forum where more people will see and comment on it. So both yours could be up there getting more attention.

Woman comes back to life after rigor mortis sets in Posted by Mark Frauenfelder, May 23, 2008 12:09 PM A West Virgina woman's heart stopped three times and she was brain dead for 17 hours at a hospital. Rigor mortis had set in and the family was discussing donating her organs when she suddenly woke up. She now appears to be in good heath. [Val] Thomas suffered two heart attacks and had no brain waves for more than 17 hours. At about 1:30 a.m. Saturday, her heart stopped and she had no pulse. A respiratory machine kept her breathing and rigor mortis had set in, doctors said. "Her skin had already started to harden and her fingers curled. Death had set in," said son Jim Thomas. They rushed her to a West Virginia hospital. Doctors put Thomas on a special machine which induces hypothermia. The treatment involves lowering the body temperature for up to 24 hours before warming a patient up. After that procedure, her heart stopped again. "She had no neurological function," said Dr. Kevin Eggleston. Her family said goodbye and doctors removed all the tubes. However, Thomas was kept on a ventilator a little while longer as an organ donor issue was discussed. Ten minutes later the woman woke up and started talking.

Here's another good article regarding this case:

I can see why this would cause people to question the ethical nature of organ transplants, when this kind of outcome cannot be predicted.
