As a result, Dr. Morse discovered that patients who are on the verge of dying in today’s society are treated for anxiety to prevent NDE or predeath visions. Dr. Morse was able to locate a few cases that dealt with predeath visions, and revealed that patients who have predeath visions are not suffering from the visions but are having beautiful visions of heaven and Jesus according to the cases he
