“Realer than this life” perception during an NDE

I do agree the NDE cases are rarer than the total number of hospitalizations for near fatal issues.

I just think this attempt to severely narrow down the number of cases feels dishonest. Feels like an attempt to make the debunking more manageable, and even then I'm pretty sure there are HCP cases left out.

HCP can lie as well, and people who aren't HCP can be quite trustworthy. If someone wants to be genuinely skeptical they can perhaps double check the cases in Self Does Not Die, but simply dismissing the over one-hundred cases for a spurious reason like witnesses weren't HCP is just a cheap tactic.

I don’t dispute that there are a small number of anomalies (and I don't think anyone tries to explain them away by claiming people are lying). But the fact is still that we are looking at frequencies close to 0% and at present we must expect that most resusication professionals never have encountered such a case. I’m simply refuting that there are cases verified by health care professionals “happening all the time”. It’s making a mountain out of a molehill. This is exactly the un-skeptical behaviour that makes the american deserted littered with crashed ufos in some peoples mind.
