(31,893 posts)I heard the interview on NPR this morning, and it was interesting, if too short. I was somewhat familiar with Tucker's predecessor's work from years ago - Stevenson.
Did you read the comments at the UVAMagazine article link? An interesting parallel to the comments on this thread - only those who argued for open-mindedness about Stevenson's and Tucker's research seemed to outnumber those who were "Appalled!".
And I have to wonder, with 50 years of research on an observable phenomenon - pre-literate young children claiming memories of a previous identity - how is it NOT science to record and study and research as many instances of this phenomenon as possible and seek out possible explanations for it? Is that not the very heart of scientific inquiry?
