  • The case of a man whose heart stopped beating for 1½ hours only to revive just as doctors were preparing to remove his organs for transplants
  • It was at that point that the astonished surgeons noticed the man was beginning to breathe unaided again, his pupils were active, he was giving signs that he could feel pain - and finally, his heart started beating again.
  • the man can walk and talk.
  • "During the meeting, other reanimators ... spoke of situations in which a person whom everyone was sure had died in fact survived after reanimation efforts that went on much longer than usual," the minutes of the committee meeting say.

    "Participants conceded that these were completely exceptional cases, but ones that were nevertheless seen in the course of a career."
