Navenna Shine of Seattle is planning to livestream her own death.
Well, technically she's planning to livestream an experiment in which she attempts to survive for up to six months on nothing but the natural light of the sun, but it's essentially the same thing.
Shine, founder of
Living on Light, is a follower of the Jasmuheen branch of
Breatharianism.
Jasmuheen (born Ellen Greve) is
a thoroughly debunked fraud, and her pseudoscientific claims are directly responsible
for the deaths of several people.
Why does Shine believe her "experiment" will end differently? Because she really believes.
The only problem with this is that we do not believe it. We hear about it but, how can we possibly believe somebody who says that they don’t eat? Even family and friends don’t believe them sometimes. The solution is very simple. We have to put it to the test. This is what I intend to do through “Living On Light”. Put it to the test.
And so, for the next four to six months, Shine plans to live in a "controlled environment," with eight cameras pointed at her at all times to ensure that she isn't cheating.
She hopes to be able to livestream the footage, but claims that technical difficulties are currently preventing that from happening.
"In the meantime," she says, "each moment is being recorded and the files are being archived for future verification."...
