Is there life after death?

Is there a soul? Apparently there is evidence of a soul. There are many cases where patients being operated on and was flat lined (meaning that the hart had stopped and was clinically dead) has left their bodies and was viewing the operation being taken place on their own bodies from above. They saw everything and heard everything and it was verified by the doctors and nurses. Many has claimed to have met deceased relatives and even met with God before returning to their bodies. Is this proof of an afterlife? What do you think?

I am a nurse. My sister is a mortician. Neither of us believe in ghosts or souls.

A flat line doesn't equal brain death. Death is a process.

Interesting chemical dumps occur when the body is preparing to die. For example you might see things that aren't there. A good example is dying patients I have cared for seeing totally random shit.

As for their accurate reports of activity in the room with them I also interpret this as a dying brain. Hearing is the last sense to go.

TL;DR: It is proof of an afterlife if you really want to believe that there is an afterlife. If you're like me and don't believe that a consciousness exists without some form of functioning brain you're more likely to interpret these things as products of a brain that went through at least part of the dying process.
