Evidence for paranormal aspects in NDEs

I think that unfortunately it is quite likely that experimental studies like AWARE will never and can never make a conclusive case no matter how long they are continued, and at no matter how many hospitals. Despite a large and convincing body of anecdotal veridical cases that meet a lot of common sense evidential standards, such as are documented in The Self Does Not Die. The problem is, it is as if this phenomenon (along with other forms of dramatic paranormal phenomena) just doesn't want to be pinned down with some form of repeatable laboratory experiments. When it is attempted to pin them down, it just doesn't work - deep veridical NDEs either don't happen at all or always in rooms without the experimental apparatus. It is as if the "powers that be" want to maintain a certain uncertainty, with the phenomena only exhibiting themselves spontaneously in life, in such a way that there is never conclusive scientific proof they actually occurred as reported. It would be interesting to speculate why this should be, whether it is a conscious and deliberate plan, or merely the way things are, like quantum mechanical uncertainty.

You have to remember this time (Aware 2)  that every (or the majority of) cardiac arrest(s) will have a target. Personally, I just think it's a matter of time until the first hit. Some meticulous old buffer (probably a train spotter) will be curious enough to make a mental note of that unusual picture on a pole and when he wakes up.....
