QUOTE: Up to 25 per cent of people who almost die report a near-death experience. These usually involve sensations of zooming through a tunnel towards a light. Many also feature replays of the person’s life and reunions with dead loved ones.

Nothing new here. One can’t help wondering why up to 75% of such people do not have this experience, but I agree with David that the whole subject is fascinating. The quotes do not mention what for me is the most crucial factor of all, which is those occasions when the patient returns with information he or she could not possibly have had prior to the experience. These are the examples that appear to provide evidence that goes beyond the realms of subjectivity.
