What the heck was Beverly Brodsky, who was legally blind, doing on a motorcycle? There was no mention of a side car or that she was a passenger.

Even agnostics have some kind of faith. ;-)

Legally blind doesn't mean that you can't see anything. It means that your vision is worse than some set measurement. My brother used to be legally blind in one eye (he's since had laser surgery and no longer wears glasses).

I just assumed she was the passenger, since it said she was "riding" on the motorcycle, and not driving it. But I could be wrong, of course.

This was a very interesting and even-handed article. These NDEs are very interesting to me, although I've never read any of the many books about them.

It's a good thing that one lady saw both cats and dogs, or this thread could have turned into one of the cat v. dog war threads!

Thanks for posting this!

Perhaps she is legally blind without corrective lenses or contacts as I am. It is perfectly legal for me to drive a car and a motorcycle provided I wear glasses or contacts.

I also understand being without either after surgery. Few can understand the frustration of regaining consciousness after surgery, and having a nurse take 2 hours to return your glasses.
