      I’m not aware of any evidence to suggest there is some form of life after death. When we die, electrical activity in our brain stops, our heart stops beating and our central nervous system shuts down. Eventually our bodies will decay and the chemicals that make up our bodies will find their way back into the ecosystem.

      In any case, I think we have one shot at this strange thing called ‘life’ and it’s up to us to do something awesome with it!
