Fifth ISU Blog Post

Video: http://wgntv.com/2015/02/05/ohio-family-convinced-son-lived-another-life-as-a-chicago-woman/

          The link I have posted above is to a video showing a boy whose family that believe he was once a female who died in a house fire. He seemed to recall who the female was, how she died, and even how she looked. In the book Elsewhere, the author writes that when people hit the age of 7 they will be reincarnated
and live another life. Personally I believe that this is not true and that the video of the child is simply a hoax. The book is based on common beliefs that our society has and you can really see the influence it had on the author. There is not a lot of originality, the author is just taking unproven ideas and creating a story out of it. This is fine considering it is just a book that is not meant to be taken literally, but when we do take it literally we can see the flaws it has. You may be thinking about who would be willing to go through all the trouble of creating a hoax like that video, but I think we've all heard of crazier lies. This ties into my belief that you should not make assumptions on things like life after death or reincarnation, until you have facts that prove it.
