Your essay should be an answer to one (and only one) of the following questions:

1. Do you agree with Dell’Olio that near death experiences justify belief in an afterlife? Why, or why not?
2. Do you agree with Fischer’s objection(s) to the Epicurean argument about the badness of death? Why, or why not? 

Requirements:

– Your essay should be about 1000 words. (It’s fine if it’s a bit shorter or longer.)
– No formal introduction or conclusion is needed.  Just do your best to answer the question.
– No research other than the relevant course reading is needed (or useful). 
– Please use 11 or 12 point font.
– Please upload your essay as a Word or PDF file to the dropbox under “Assignments”.

Readings Required:
(1) Andrew DellOlio, Do Near-Death Experiences Provide a Rational Basis for Belief in Life After Death?
(2) John Martin Fischer, Death, Badness and the Impossibility of Experience

Be comprehensive and detailed in your approach. Ensure the work is devoid of grammar and punctual mistakes and adheres to university or post-grad readability.
