In this episode of "Thanatology Up-to-Date", we talk about near-death experiences in international comparison. Do such experiences also occur in Eastern cultures? How are they experienced there? What influence does religion have? Are there elements of experience that occur independently of religion?

The Swiss physician and thanatologist Dr. Reto Eberhard Rast is our discussion partner.
