When is it that we are dead and gone?
Neuroscientist,
Dr. David Eagleman, in
his
Sum: Forty Tales from the Afterlives,
suggests that our deaths will occur not just
once, but in this series of
three stages:
". . . the first is when the body ceases to function
and the second is when the body is put in the grave.
The third is that moment sometime in the future
when your name is spoken for the last time."
