Guest: Melvin Morse, M.D. is a pediatrician who studies NDE (Near Death Experiences) in children.
What are some of the most evidential NDEs Dr. Morse has heard children share? Why do a higher percentage of children have NDEs than adults? How do children interpret their NDE’s differently than adults? In what ways do physics and neuroscience backup the reality of NDEs?
Melvin L. Morse, M.D. is a medical doctor who specializes in pediatrics and has researched NDEs (Near-Death Experiences) in children. He has authored several books and articles on paranormal science and near-death experiences in children, including the 1987 New York Times bestseller Closer to the Light, written jointly with Paul Perry, and with a foreword written by Raymond Moody.
As a medical student, Dr. Morse always pursued his interests in consciousness research. During a neurology rotation at Johns Hopkins, he worked under the legendary Vernon Montcastle and cared for patients who had half their brains removed or split-brain surgery. He assessed the effects such surgery had on consciousness, his first understanding that consciousness does not depend on brain function. He attended lectures by the early pioneers of functional neurogenesis. This is the revolutionary concept that all thoughts and experience changes our brain and our brain is capable of repairing itself.
