    video here [54:30]

    One of the things that stood out in that interview, was Colm citing a study from 1977 with some figures of the percentage of people who experienced these death bed and near death experiences and whether or not they had drugs in their system. That study is older than me.

    I have sympathy for the man, but, the idea of an afterlife and meeting loved ones who have passed away is evidently going to interest a man who has sadly lost a young son and is now faced with a similar fate.

    For a man who 'knows' that heaven exists, he's doing his damnedest to avoid it, going on all the treatments and operations he has had.

    I found a photo of him with his book and what I would guess, is a snapshot of the demographic and age group interested in his book. (similar to wee Daniel O' Donnell's fanbase)

    Don't even notice the difference.

    Was here.
    Was not here (this bit is blank)
    Was here again.

    No big deal.

    But it was nice of science to give me a 'second' chance.
