The Top of the Mountain

"For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries." 

                                                                               
Robert Jastrow (self-proclaimed agnostic)

Well, well, well - what have we here? A scientific study... Can't hear you! You're mumbling! - er, a scientific study documenting that people who were clinically dead continued to accurately perceive their surroundings even though monitored brain activity had ceased. A British study of over 2000 people suffering cardiac arrest during surgery documented this with 40% of the study group. 

If they hadn't been resuscitated, any guess what might have happened next? I know a good place to look for the answer.
