      Hi Vamini,

      That’s a tough question! There are a lot of different beliefs about souls, what they are and where they go – I don’t follow a particular religion myself but I’d like to think that when I die, what I consider my soul, will continue on. I’ve never really thought about how it would escape though! I’d probably say through the eyes, as I’ve always heard that ‘the eyes are the window to your soul’.

      Thanks for the question, Hattie.

      Great question Vanini,

      this is a pretty tough one to answer as scientists dont really know, its more a question of opinion or religion. I think our souls keep living when we die, and are transported as some form of invisable gas but have no idea what actually happens. Great question tho – what do you think happens?
