Roger Knights shared a link about a recent ABC telecast called "The Sixth Sense," which presents a generally positive case for psi phenomena. I haven't watched it yet, but for those who are interested, the hour-long show (with some commercials) can be seen here:

Among the topics discussed is Dr. Eben Alexander's NDE, the subject of his book "Proof of Heaven."

Can anybody get a link of this that is shown in Canada?

Here's more information on the show I recommended to MP.
It was a broadcast on Oct. 26, called "The Sixth Sense," on ABC's 20/20 show, season 32, episode ___ (6?)
It covers five topics: "the Long Island Medium," Dr. Eben Alexander, psychic cats & dogs, premonitions (of disaster or illness or computer photos), and psychic consultant Laura Day.
Dean Radin is shown saying that computerized premonition testing has been replicated in 40 studies. Maybe Hyman gave his fellow Skeptics a "heads up" that this was in the pipeline, because it would explain why, a year or two ago, CSICOP dropped the "COP" (Claims Of the Paranormal) from its moniker, and why Randi dropped his $1M Challenge.

Courtesy of Daily Grail:
Usual dismissal of Eben Alexander's claims by Scientific American. Alexander himself added a comment to the article. Someone else mentions that the article omits the crucial part of evidence where Eben went on to recognise his deceased sister after the experience. It's curious how this part is continually left out of critiques:

One of the 36 comments on the SciAm article (which included a long comment from Eben himself, with lots of reading recommendations) was this one:

Thanks for the link. It was really good. I watched the whole thing on our computer. I especially enjoyed the part with Eben Alexander even though I've heard him interviewed a couple of times before. I especially enjoyed the part about him meeting his sister in heaven. That was so cool.
The story is in our family was that my mother had a baby born dead between my older sister and I. I wonder if she exists and is in heaven and we will get to meet her when we cross over? I guess there is really no way to know that until we get there.

The comment above from BSA was an "Eddiecom"
See here (a thread on the "I Love My Kindle" site) for what an Eddiecom is:
I googled for the first sentence and found 180,000 matches for it--and the following two sentences. I don't know how it got thru MP's Catcha. But don't click on BSA's name--it'll probably lead you to a pitch for some financial service.Posted by: Roger Knights | December 06, 2012 at 05:19 AM
I think some spammers are hiring Third World people to manually enter the CAPTCHA code. Presumably there are also some computer programs sophisticated enough to decipher the code.
As a general rule, if the comment is posted by something that sounds like an ad ("Best Stock Analysis," "Low-Priced Shoes," "Great Bargains"), it's spam.

@Art
In the words of Silver Birch to those who mourn the loss of a child: 'Do not weep ...rejoice that freedom has come to a young soul who will never be distressed by the many miseries that afflict your world. Do not grieve for the child; grieve if you will for your own loss, for you will miss the little radiant face, the childish prattle, the diminutive figure. But through your physical eyes cannot see, and your physical ears cannot hear, you child is ever present. If you stop shedding tears that create a mist in front of your eyes, you will see the truth that in God's great Kingdom there is no death and all continue to live in far better conditions in a world which is richer and sweeter than anything you have ever dreamed. Do not sorrow for the child. Know that an all-loving God has given angels to protect her or him and the child will, in fullness of time, be reunited with you.'
