Post-mortem genes activity prove there's life after death

Post-mortem genes activity prove there's life after death

- More than 1000 genes come back to life two days after death

- A new study even provided evidence of increased activity in those genes

- Most were active after half an hour, while others "revived" after 24-48 hours

What happens after we die? While some believe there is no answer to the eternal question, others find solace in religion or embrace death as something trivial, scientists keep fighting to understand a mysterious mechanism of afterlife.

Researchers at the University of Washington have discovered that our genes are active for several days after death. Evidence suggests that up to 1,063 genes are not dead, moreover, they spark with activity that can reveal itself half an hour or even 24-48 hours after the body dies.

Discovery came to light after the scientists scrutinized processes occurring in the genes of the deceased mice and zebra fish. Contrary to expectations after an animal died its genes activity didn't trail off gradually or just stoped -- otherwise the majority of the genes kicked into action.

The researchers stress that  it wasn’t a random flicking on and off of genes, but those associated with stress response, some of which point to the animal trying to kick-start homeostasis, as well as those involved in embryonic development.

Ground-breaking, isn't it?
