Do you think science will ultimately be able to prove or disprove consciousness after death?

Anesthesia is completely different from death.

[Anonymous No.4618197]

Simple answer: No

[Anonymous No.4618204]

Maybe not, as it will likely take some metaphysics to explain how the universe observes itself from within itself.

Did they cover her eyes and ears before she was in the room or after?
Did she research the procedure before she had it done?

Before. According to her testimony they gave her a rundown, but nothing in immense detail.

Had she ever seen a hospital show?

There is no survival after death. Go read something like http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/keith_augustine/immortality.html if in doubt.

You can believe. I believe we will live these lives eternally, dying to be reborn in the same body. Educate yourself on the topic of chaotic inflation for your own good.

It is obvious that our brain can work with an equivalent of "pointers", well-known concepts in programming.
I can think about "cup" without thinking about cup. There were several shit-threads about this recently.
While in the hospital, it is possible that she created pointers to "this room", without actually defining "this room". Later, "this room" was filled in with the actual room. To her, it seems like the memory always contained that room. Even though it really didn't.
This happens in dreaming too, a lot.
Never had a dream where you've realised that some object or person in your dream was actually a particular object or person all along. I can imagine that a near death experience is a lot more intense then dreaming, and that the usual metnal safeguards are not in place/
