Participant Volunteers for Near Death Experiment

 

Perhaps surprisingly, given the exotic nature of the NDExp, there have already been several expressions of interest made by persons wishing to volunteer as participants in the Near Death Experiment.

Anyone considering volunteering, however should be aware of the commitment that they are making and the potential risks they are taking. While Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest is commonly carried out it is hardly routine and potentially dangerous. Serious injury, or permanent death cannot be ruled out as a result of participating in this experiment and persons who participate do so at their own risk.

Because of the potential dangers, all eligible volunteers will undergo a thorough physical and psychological assessment prior to being accepted as participants.

Currently, it is anticipated that the research will be conducted within Australia and volunteers should be aware that the experiment may not take place for several years, depending on levels of funding and support. A register will be kept of all volunteers and they will be contacted as required for assessment, or participation.

Anyone who is interested in participating is encouraged to volunteer, however, all persons will need to be over the age of 18 at the time of volunteering.

Needless to say, all volunteers and participants have the right to withdraw from the experiment at any stage.
