is it possible to induce flat-lining?

yes, as you can tell i've just seen the film "flatliners" and it has sparked my interest. I was wondering if it is scientifically possiblt to recreate the experiments, so as to prove once and for all if there is "another side" to reality.I am wearing my suit of armour today, so feel free to throw whatever insults at me that you wish
Answer:
Yes, of course. It is called taking the patient all the way to stage four.e.i.. death. If you wish to know more about anesthesia, google it --- anesthesia+general

It's also possible to flatline and not be unconscious, it would depend how you attempt to induce this.

The medicine Adenosine is used to stop a heart rhythm called Supraventricular tachycardia. It does this by inducing a short period of asystole (flat line) and then the heart restarts once it has worn off. It has a half life of just a few seconds, so the period of asystole is very short, usually 2 to 3 seconds.

Rent the movie Flatliners again and take good notes. Kiefer Sutherland,Julia Roberts,Kevin Bacon,William Baldwin and Oliver Platt will teach you how to do it if you would just pay attention!!I would go hang out with some med students and see if anyone feels like risking your life and their career. You might find someone that wants to play.You could call a your local B%26D/S%26M shop. Thhe might know someone that's into that sort of thing and be able to point you you in the right direction.Have fun and be sure your loved ones know if you want to be an organ donor.
