Yeah that's gonna have to be a no from me, dawg.

God damn.From Dr Beaurieux's report:
Specially depending on how you die, if you just had some massive heart attack, pretty sure you aren't calmly thinking "oh wow I just died look at this"
Title is misleading.
They don't say the mind stays conscious for ever.
So how long does it take for that awareness to end?
Heart-stopping is death.Heart-stopping ≠ death.
You're dead when your brain dies.
Doesn't.
Heart-stopping is death.
Brain dies your body is still alive. That's how organ donations are possible in the first place.
What do you mean by doesn't? It absolutely does.
Did you hear this from Karl Pilkington?
Not really. It's basically like a state of coma. If the heart is working the brain has a chance of coming back.You as a person are dead though even if you're body is still alive.
What if that burst of energy when you die slows down your perception of time so it feels like it lasts forever? Like when time feels like it's slowing down when something scary or dangerous happens.
Being trapped in your death forever.
But does it stop short after?
Or is your consciousness trapped inside your coffin for ever?
Holyshit.

Heart failure = death.
Holy. Fucking. Shit. This is straight out of some horror fiction (except it's... real?).From Dr Beaurieux's report:

Near death experiences are really interesting.
EDIT: I added this a little later in the thread. I'm including it here for cohesiveness since people seem really chilled by her experience.
When she originally told me the story, I asked her what she meant by "remembering her death." She had a hard time describing it. She had to compare it to other things, using similes and metaphors, to help put what it felt like into words.
She started by saying that she knows she lost consciousness. She remembers being pinned inside the car. She remembers being sideways. She remembers her vision going black - which she described as her POV being quickly burned from the center outward. Like her field of vision was a piece of paper that swiftly disintegrated to reveal nothing but blackness behind it. She says this feeling is scary, but she knows that this was her losing consciousness and not her being killed. She knows this wasn't her death because she was consciously fading out, and even after her vision went black. She remembers being disoriented. She remembers being shocked. She remembers thinking to herself "what's happening?"
This is her "blue memory."
Her "red memory" plays out differently. She remembers being pinned inside the car. She remembers being sideways. But her vision doesn't go black. It stays completely clear, crisp, and vivid. But there is no consciousness. No background thought. There is no disorientation, there is no shock, and there is no train of thought. To her, this final image is not the field of view of a living thing. It's like the recording of a video camera that was knocked over. But there's no director. There's nobody behind it. It just lays there recording until it runs out of tape. Then it stops.
That's how she remembers dying.
When we put down our last dog, we sang to him his favorite song during his last few moments, and after he was gone. Now Im glad that we did this.My mother, an RN for more than 40 years with extensive Emergency and IC experience, has maintained this as long as I remember... She says that experiences she's had suggest to her that a person or animal may be "aware" for as many as two minutes after "death"... and she thinks that hearing is the last thing to go... I've been with her when she had to put down a couple of her pets, and she talks softly to the dog "good girl, it's alright, mommy loves you" etc. for a couple minutes after the pulse stops in case they linger...
"Languille!"Holy. Fucking. Shit. This is straight out of some horror fiction (except it's... real?).
I knew somebody who had a near-death experience when she was a late-teenager. Her and her friend were speeding and drove straight off the road when they missed a turn and hit a particularly menacing tree. The car was totaled and they both very nearly died.
The person I knew was the passenger. She said she wasn't even aware they were speeding. They were listening to the Riot Album by Paramore. She was really into it and singing along and the impact of the accident was extremely sudden to her. She had zero awareness it was about to happen until they actually crashed.
She described having her entire life pass before her eyes - just like the cliche - and even though it was instantaneous it was a "deep instant." She felt like that single second in time reached deeper beneath a different axis of time and she was able to fully re-experience her entire existence in the moment that flashed after the impact. Then she lost consciousness.
In the wake of the accident and during her recovery, she started to realize she now had two memories of everything that ever happened. There was the original memory from when she first experienced them and the second memory from when she experienced them again during the accident. She felt like she lived her entire life twice, in equal proportion, and had double memories of everything that happened before the crash.
So every time she remembered something from her life before her accident, she would have this sickening deja vu feeling. She described it as a 3D image improperly aligned. There's an image underneath in blue and the same image on top in red, but they don't line up right. They're askew. So the blue memory is all the normal feelings and emotions she felt when the memory originally happened, but the red memory only conjured up feelings of extreme terror. She said it was like looking at old photographs and noticing the grim reaper in every photo. And as you flip through the photo album and see yourself as a baby, and as a little kid, and graduating high school, there is a cloaked figure you never noticed before that seems to be as much the subject of the photo as you are.
But worst of all, she remembered her death.
Her double memories end abruptly at the accident. Everything after the accident she remembers normally. So, to her, this termination points feels like her death. So she remembers a timeline of her life where she was killed at 19. When she thinks about herself, there is a prevailing and nagging thought that she was killed in the accident.
And she remembers that girl. She knows that girl. That girl was her. That girl is dead.
This is why dying in your sleep is the best.

She can't listen to Paramore anymore because it brings up too many memories. Twice as many as they should, and some that abruptly end. She doesn't like to revisit the moment she went askew.
You can artificially do many things. Unless the heart can be revived you're basically dead.No.
Heart failure will likely lead to death. But "you" is in the brain. Not the heart. You could artificially pump blood to brain.
