Wanted Dead and Alive

Is there a bright line between life and death?  There’s a lot of confusion and controversy, and the line keeps moving.  Aren’t near-death experiences actually after-death experiences?  Can a person will themself to die? Or partly die?  What’s the difference between brain death and clinical death?  In this show, host Kim Mooney – ADEC Certified Thanatologist – and her guests dive into all the fuzzy lines and hopefully we all leave a bit more pleasantly mystified.

Mooney’s guests were Porter Storey MD, Retired Hospice & Palliative Care physician, and Maggie Compernolle, a Registered Nurse with a background in oncology nursing and palliative care.
