Death Is Not Final Debate - Sean Carroll, Steven Novella vs Eben Alexander, R Moody

Some commenters, on the two threads on Near-Death Experiences, have mentioned Eben Alexander and how good his book is etc. Firstly, they need to read the robust repsonses: Sam Harris - This must be heaven Esquire - The Prophet Why Evolution is True - Eben Alexander’s bogus trip to heaven The Wire / The Atlantic - The 'Proof of Heaven' Author Has Now Been Thoroughly Debunked by Science Daily Mail - 'Proof of Heaven' doctor faced a $3million malpractice lawsuit when he fell into a coma which has the subheadings -

• Dr Eben Alexander was tied for the highest number of medical malpractice suits at the time that he fell into a coma following an E. coli infection
• He wrote a book in 2012 about his experience 'seeing the other side'
• He touted the book as the work of a neurosurgeon, but he hadn't practiced surgery- let alone neurosurgery- for four years prior to the publication

I am thinking that Eben Alexander's case is on pretty damned shaky ground. Aside from that, here is a debate Eben Alexander and debating partner had against the superb Sean Carroll and Steve Novella: [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEeDCmEqv9o[/youtube] See Steve Novella's write up of the debate here.
