Présentation de l'éditeur

· How many minutes can you survive after cardiac arrest?

· What do new medical techniques teach us about consciousness?

· How will these change our views of who we are?

In 2012, two football stars collapsed while playing. Both were technically dead yet, while Fabrice Muamba received hypothermia treatment and recovered, his counterpart in another country did not. In The Lazarus Effect, Dr Sam Parnia, a critical care physician and one of the world's leading experts on the scientific study of death, uses fascinating stories, as well as the very latest research, to show what happens to the mind and body during cardiac arrest and death. he also explains how medical advances are revolutionising our chances of survival.

Death is no longer a fixed moment in time. What does that mean? And how can we account for the way the human mind continues to function after death has begun?

These questions hold profound ethical, scientific and philosophical implications for us all, not least the fact that, soon, we will have more power over life and death than ever before.

I bought the book after reading an article in a journal on Dr Parnia's work. I therefore had a fair idea of what to expect. The science of resuscitation seems to have made significant advances in the last decade, but what I found disturbing is that those advances are not uniformly available even within the same hospital emergency unit because of significan variances between the training and motivation of the staff on duty at any particular time.

I also find it disturbing that the blurring of the divide between life and death has not been accompanied by a recognition that harvesting organs from a body just because the heart has ceased to beat and the pupils are dilated might well amount to causing unlawful death in some instances. Doctors motivated by the health of a transplant patient may be circumspect about disclosing the full potential of recent advances in the science of resuscitation to the loved ones of a prospective donor. These were not matters directly canvassed by Dr Parnia, although he does acknowledge the variances of health care within the same hospital.

I was a bit disappointed at his work on near death experiences. While he outlines efforts to explore the phenomenon, those efforts appear to have been inconclusive to date. Perhaps this is fertile ground for a sequel, but any research that definitively addresses this question will no doubt become public knowledge well in advance of any book as that kind of research will be of interest to all.

A good book should prompt thought on the part of the reader. Dr Parnia has most certainly done that. But he has also provided an interesting and illuminating read about a topic that we will all need to address at some time in our lives, if only at the very end -whenever and whatever that is.

Very interesting but does repeat himself several times. The number of pages could be halved. Seems like trustworthy research.
