The greatest human problem is that we are all born in the condemned cell. Money and medical science can extend the human lifespan significantly - perhaps up to one thousand years via cloning and cryogenics - but in the end, when the last medical miracle has been exhausted, Death still waits patiently for us.
In Death: The Final Mystery, Lionel and Patricia Fanthorpe take their investigative skills to those last moments of life and beyond, exploring such puzzling topics as near-death and out-of-body experiences, reincarnation theories, hypno-regression, and automatic writing and other phenomena of the séance room. Evidence is drawn from trance mediums, the writings of mystics, and clear, hard facts reported by reliable eyewitnesses.
