I think she is delusional and wanted to believe that in the first place. Keep in mind that the Bible never said you had a "soul." Instead it says you become a living soul. I would assume you could also be a dead soul. Having a soul is what religion tells you so that you can believe the myth of never dying.

Have you read "The Poisener's Handbook"? If you haven't, you might like it.

I don't believe in a soul. However, I also read where a scientist did the same thing with some dogs, and they lost weight, too. I believe all animals have consciousness in degrees. Humans have a higher degree than dogs and cats, and other animals. haha, maybe some humans have a higher dgree than other humans, just saying. Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to equate consciousness with the soul.
Whe does conciousness appear in an individual? At the moment of conception, or after 3 trimesters? Some scientist believe that conscousness appears when an infant can recognize by looking in a mirror that somthing on his/her face should not be there, say a chocolate syrup drop.

@Ringo6 I hear you and all but....... I stand correct. How many times have you been dead?

@IamNobody I did my doctor of psychology internship in a locked mental health facility for the chronically and persistently mentally ill. During a group on current events, one of the patients said, "The first time I came back from the dead, I had a headache." Then another patient said, "That's so funny - the same thing happened to me!"

@Marika Gee that's scary stuff. That's my concern, we don't really know what happens once we are gone and we cannot take for granted that we won't know any better.
