Near-death research [ ] Fenwick's interest in near-death experiences was piqued when he read 's book.

Initially skeptical of Moody's anecdotal evidence, Fenwick reassessed his opinion after a discussion with one of his own patients, who described a very similar to that of Moody's subjects. Since then, he has collected and analysed more than 300 examples of near-death experiences. He has been criticised by the medical community for claiming that human consciousness can survive bodily death. Fenwick argues that human consciousness may be more than just a function of the brain. 'The plain fact is that none of us understands these phenomena. As for the soul and life after death, they are still open questions, though I myself suspect that NDEs are part of the same continuum as mystical experiences.' Fenwick and his wife are co-authors of The Art of Dying, a study of the spiritual needs of near-death patients. Free Studio 5.7.5.1005.

The Fenwicks argue that modern medical practices have devalued end-of-life experiences, and call for a more holistic approach to death and dying. In 2003, Fenwick and appeared in the 'The Day I Died'. In the documentary Parnia and Fenwick discussed their belief that research from near-death experiences indicates the mind is independent of the brain. According to the documentary misled viewers with beliefs that are rejected by the majority of scientists. Blackmore criticized the documentary for biased and 'dishonest reporting'. Fenwick and Parnia have claimed that research from NDEs may show the 'mind is still there after the brain is dead'. The neurologist Michael O'Brien has written 'most people would not find it necessary to postulate such a separation between mind and brain to explain the events,' and suggested that further research is likely to provide a physical explanation for near-death experiences.

Has written that Fenwick has made metaphysical assumptions and dismissed possible psychological and physiological explanations for near-death experiences.
