Default Torture kids until they speak to 'god'.

Or more so... put them through a near death experience.

Morse is the author of Closer to the Light: Learning from the Near Death Experiences of Children, which is subtitled Amazing Revelations of What it Feels Like to Die.

On his website, www.spiritualscientific.com, he expounds on the "gaseous vapor theory of the soul" and claims to have "done more to prove the existence of life after death than any other scientist".

State police said the girl told investigators Morse held her face under a running faucet causing water to flood up her nose and keeping her from breathing. The girl said Morse called the punishment "waterboarding".
Police did not know what provoked the doctor to discipline the girl in that manner, but said the girl's mother witnessed several of the incidents but did not stop them.
Done more for science.... by putting his child through near death experiences.

Is the soul meant to make your eyes water and empty the room?

Why isn't this guy in jail? So attempted murder is fine if it's under the guise of religion?

The sentencing process may take awhile. The fucked up thing is, his safety in jail would be a big factor in his sentencing. Jail culture doesn't hold child killers, pedophiles and rapists in high regard.

I would suggest this claim is not factual, the nothing he has done cannot be more than the nothing others have achieved.

Criminal twats like this one and the rest of the "near death experience" crowd utterly fail to grasp a simple concept, and it's given away in the title , near death is NOT death.

They experiment with states of unconsciousness only. There is zero experimental evidence of anyone coming back from death, ever.

11 year old girl subjected to child abuse, that shall be our number one piece of evidence.

Hope this guy is locked up in a maximum security prison for a very long time.
