I have watched a documentary on youtube about near death experiences. It was very interesting and objective as possible. Some people it seems have had bizarre experiences when in an operating theatre. Although it is all inclonclusive and subjective it seems somehow significant. I know what neuroscience says about it and understand their veiwpoint, but I cannot help wonder...

What do other people think about it?

Insufficient data.

Prepared to consider that some accounts may be reliable, but the accounts are seriously inconsistent and i do not have the data preqrequisite for evaluating the sources.

Postulating alternative hypotheses, if the data were reliable, but any such hypotheses are at present and probably forever untestable.

I have not experienced such a thing nor known any one who has claimed such an experience.

People had strange experiences when drugged out of their minds and cut open on a table? No kidding?

I'm old enough to know multiple people who have had open heart surgery.

One of my friends tells me that the nurses informed him that when they booted up his automatic defibrilator -- to do this they turn it on and then stop your heart -- when it defibrilated him, he woke up, stood up in bed, and started spewing his entire lexicon of profanity - and he was in the navy.

He doesn't remember any of that.
