Ateklabs.1022 net.suicide utcsrgv!utzoo!decvax!duke!chico!harpo!mhtsa!ihnss!cbosg!teklabs!toma Tue Jan 26 07:58:04 1982 After death, then what? I thought I would never be caught dead submitting an item here but... A couple of years ago I read the book "Life after Life" by Raymond Moody, Jr., M.D., which is a study of case histories of people who had clinically died but then returned to life. Those who died by accident all reported nice experiences (heaven?). On the other hand, those who attempted suicide reported a vast emptyness and didn't get the nice experiences (hell?).

I think this is an accurate summary of the book, although as I said, it has been a while since I looked at it.

Moral: one takes great risks by committing suicide.
