Me? Or the doctors who examined him? Where would I get more information than they provided you with?

Probably depends on what your question is. Are you asking about neuroscience? Or a more philosophical question? Or something else? Explain any of "what" - if you can be more specific that can be sorted out, whether science or some other discipline can explain some question that needs explaining.

Intriguing. I've heard that the Mormon church is growing globally but shrinking or at best holding steady in the US. https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/church-of-jesus-christ-record-global-growth https://religionnews.com/2024/04/12/mormonism-is-still-growing-but-slowly/ I read...

It didn't have the information you were looking for? I don't know what I'm missing, maybe I'm not looking in the right place, but I didn't seen anything downloadable on his site.
