Dr. Michael Barbato, Moment of Death Research

AUSTIN, Texas - June 27, 2017 - PRLog -- Dr. Micahel Barbato has stayed busy enlightening us in end of life matters for decades. Recently he has completed a study with other physicians regarding what they have found in brain activity among some people at the moment of death.

It is fascinating research that you can review  in the Journal of Pain and Symptom Management in the June 2017 Volume. It is referenced in the "Letters" section of the Journal, titled "Moment of Death," for reasons Dr. Barbato explains in the interview.

We all have our own ideas about what is going on during the dying process, at death, and afterwards. But it is bold to try and capture and measure it

In our discussion today Dr. Barbato explains the whole process of what they did and some theories as to what may actually be going on.
