There IS proof of an afterlife - says top scientist

A top US scientist claims to have discovered evidence of an afterlife, thanks to studies involving millions of patients who've had near-death experiences.
According to Dr Sam Parnia, an associate professor of medicine at New York University’s Langone Medical Center, patients who are resuscitated after their heart stops frequently recount re-living 'every single moment of their lives'.
Particularly remarkable, he claims, is that they relive memories not only from their own perspective, but as if they're looking through other people's eyes.
'Incredibly, [patients] consistently report that even though from the outside perspective there looks like there is no consciousness and they're supposed to be dead, internally they go through a new experience.
'They feel that their own consciousness, their selfhood, becomes suddenly vast and it becomes more lucid and more sharp.
'They are able to gather information about what's happening to them as doctors and nurses are trying to revive them.
