Best of ST in 2013: "The Science That Is Rewriting the Boundaries Between Life and Death"

Aired on Friday, December 27th.

On this edition of The Best of StudioTulsa, we revisit our chat with Dr. Sam Parnia, one of the world's leading experts on the scientific study of death and near-death experiences. Specifically, we discuss Dr. Parnia's recent book, "Erasing Death: The Science That Is Rewriting the Boundaries Between Life and Death," which Kirkus Reviews has called "a fascinating discussion that addresses medical, moral, and social issues, and their implications for understanding consciousness, self-awareness, and the soul." You can read more about this book, and can also hear a free, on-demand "stream" of our entire interview, at this link.
