Description
What really happens when we die? Is it simply the end, or is there more to the process than we realize? In What Happens When We Die, Dr. Bhaskar Bora offers a compelling, in-depth exploration of the science, philosophy, and cultural perspectives on death. Drawing from cutting-edge research in biology, forensic science, and anthropology, this book unravels the complex sequence of events that occur from the moment life ends to the final stages of decomposition.
Dr. Bora takes readers on a journey through the biology of death—explaining in detail the systematic shutdown of vital organs, the role of forensic science in death investigations, and the future of death as humanity ventures into space. From the microscopic cellular breakdown to the study of mass graves, this book delves into every facet of mortality, offering a comprehensive guide to understanding our final moments.
You'll explore fascinating topics such as cryonics—freezing bodies after death in the hope of future revival—and forensic anthropology, which helps scientists uncover the mysteries hidden in ancient mass graves. The book also examines near-death experiences and what science has to say about them, the ethical debates surrounding euthanasia, and the cultural diversity in how societies handle death rituals. Additionally, it tackles modern-day dilemmas, such as organ donation and the impact of technology on death with the rise of the "digital afterlife."
Whether you're curious about the biological processes of dying, interested in the future of death technologies, or drawn to the mystical and cultural interpretations of the afterlife, What Happens When We Die provides a well-rounded, thought-provoking look into death's mysteries. With the combined wisdom of scientific facts and philosophical insights, this book challenges everything you thought you knew about death.
