Hey i have a question about when people die?

Question

I heard that when people are about to die and are in there death beds, when they do die, some weight magically disapears, and its not there poop and piss because the bed has weight scales and the poop is obviously still there on the bed if they do die, so could it be ethric matter perhaps and proof that there is life after death, and also remember matter cannot be created nor destroyed, so do we live eternally?

Answer 1

Well, I'm not for sure about all the issues of weight. But I can tell you that your spirit will be alive somewhere eternally. I would not concern myself with all that as much as I would where I'll be spending eternity. PEACE!!!

Answer 2

There was some testing done in the 1920-30 by a man, and then more done in the 1980s to see if the body lost any weight at death. There was not enough testing to be conclusive of anything, so you probably won't get an answer on that one yet.

Answer 3

It's a myth that people all lose some particular amount of weight when they die, based off of a very flawed "scientific" study.

"...six (as in the six dying patients) is not a large enough sample size. When I studied statistics, my lecturer convinced me that, concerning people preferring one cola to another, "8 out of 10 is not statistically significant, but 16 out of 20 is".

Second, he got "good" results (ie, the patient irreversibly lost weight at the moment of death) from just one of the six patients, not all six! Two of the results had to be excluded because of "technical difficulties". One patient's death did show a drop in weight of about three-eighths of an ounce - but this later reversed itself! Two of the other patients registered an immediate loss of weight at the moment of death, but then their weight dropped again a few minutes later. (Does this mean that they died twice!?) Only one of the six patients showed a sudden and non-reversible loss of weight of three-fourths of an ounce (21 grams).

The third problem is a little more subtle. Even today, with all of our sophisticated technology, it is still sometimes very difficult to determine the precise moment of death. And which death did he mean - cellular death, brain death, physical death, heart death, legal death, etc? How could Dr. Duncan MacDougall be so precise back in 1907? And anyhow, how accurate and precise were his scales back in 1907?

From such slender beginnings as a single non-reproducible result, enduring myths are born. There may be lightness after death - but this experiment didn't prove it. We do leave something behind us when we die - the enduring impact that we have had on others. We would probably have as much success in measuring the impression of that mental impact, as we would of measuring the weight of the soul. "

Answer 4

I read about that once. I think they also did some terrible experiment involving euthanizing dogs on a scale and it showed that the weight did not change "proving" that animals have no soul. I'm not sure how I feel about the whole thing but certainly something weird is going on as long as those human results weren't falsified. Unfortunately, I don't remember where I read about this but it was at least 5+ years ago.

Answer 5

I think you should focus on improving your grammar, because this will help you a great deal during your lifetime. Death happens to everyone eventually, so keep yourself focused on the beauty of the present and you will live a richer life for it!

Answer 6

I wish someone had told me about this sooner. I have been *dying* to lose some weight and I never knew you could lose weight magically! Awesome... I'm gonna be a nice thin corpse!
Thanx for the information!

Answer 7

Urban Myth and wishful thinking

Answer 8

The first problem is that what you heard that launched this question is not true. It is downhill into weirdness after that.

Answer 9

21grams are lost. It is an unexplained mystery.

Answer 10

cool.....any websites or sources that support this??
