The Science of Deathbed Visions Many people have visions and dreams as they near the end of their life in which they reunite with loved ones who have gone before them. What can science tell us about these mysterious and common experiences? And how do they affect those who have them? These are questions that Chris Kerr, a hospice physician and neurobiologist, set out to answer through research decades after he witnessed his dying father having one when Kerr was an adolescent. Dr. Kerr, is the Chief Medical Officer and Chief Executive Officer of Hospice & Palliative Care Buffalo. He was featured in a recent New York Times magazine article . He is also the author of the book Death is But a Dream: Finding Hope and Meaning in End-of-Life Dreams.
