After death, then what?
I thought I would never be caught dead submitting an item
here but...
A couple of years ago I read the book "Life after Life" by Raymond
Moody, Jr., M.D., which is a study of case histories of people
who had clinically died but then returned to life.  Those who
died by accident all reported nice experiences (heaven?). On the
other hand, those who attempted suicide reported a vast emptyness
and didn't get the nice experiences (hell?).

I think this is an accurate summary of the book, although as I
said, it has been a while since I looked at it.

Moral: one takes great risks by committing suicide.
