Saw a link to this article over on Derek’s blog:
“Consider the rather startling fact that you will never know you have died. You may feel yourself slipping away, but it isn’t as though there will be a “you” around who is capable of ascertaining that, once all is said and done, it has actually happened. Just to remind you, you need a working cerebral cortex to harbor propositional knowledge of any sort, including the fact that you’ve died—and once you’ve died your brain is about as phenomenally generative as a head of lettuce.”
It’s an interesting read – check it out over at the Scientific American website: Never Say Die: Why We Can’t Imagine Death
