Terminal cancer patients, those expecting to die and “meet God” soon, are a very, very niche audience compared to a general population with non-specific major depressive disorders.
But at the same time, I love this. The more study, the better!
- ipnon 4y agoAfter seeing the responses to my original post I wish I had used different terms. I did not mean "meeting God" literally, but used it more as a metaphor for "meeting your maker": coming to terms with universal human problems like mortality, our relations to our friends and family, the nature of good and evil, things of that nature. "Meeting God" I thought would sum all this up poetically, but you can always count on HN to take things literally! Griffiths' research is all high quality. He is the pioneer in making this field of scientific research palatable to the mainstream medical establishment.
