In U.S.A Only A Number Of 10 000 people die every hours
And 4 500 of Us have view a NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE
A near-death experience (NDE), refers to a broad range of personal experiences associated with impending death, encompassing multiple possible sensations including detachment from the body; feelings of levitation; extreme fear; total serenity, security, or warmth; the experience of absolute dissolution; and the presence of a light, which some people interpret as a deity.
These phenomena are usually reported after an individual has been pronounced clinically dead or otherwise very close to death, hence the term near-death experience. Many NDE reports, however, originate from events that are not life-threatening. With recent developments in cardiac resuscitation techniques, the number of reported NDEs has increased. Many in the scientific community regard such experiences as hallucinatory, while paranormal specialists and some mainstream scientists claim them to be evidence of an afterlife.
Popular interest in near-death experiences was initially sparked by Raymond Moody's 1975 book Life After Life and the founding of the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) in 1981. According to a Gallup poll, approximately eight million Americans claim to have had a near-death experience. Some commentators, such as Simpson claim that the number of near-death experiencers may be underestimated, mainly because some such individuals are presumably afraid or otherwise reluctant to talk about their experiences.
NDEs are among the phenomena studied in the fields of parapsychology, psychology, psychiatry, and hospital medicine.

^This. I believe it all has a neurological explanation. I mean, we don't really know what is all happening in our brain when death is impending, do we? There's still a lot of researh to do there, and I'm convinced it will lead to fascinating results.
[quote]whoa! Do you know what they call it when you die and come back to life?
Yes, they call it: 'thank you, Science, for helping save humans and getting their hearts to beat again, where was god, WHERE WAS GOD!??!'[/quote] Wow, you just made a fabulous point^^
They view a white hole at the End !!! usually Heaven
That sounds remarkably similar to the stars you see when you get hit on the head.... If you want to get a glimpse of heaven, bang your head against the wall! You see that white "hole"? It must be heaven, what else could a white space be?
I've had a near death experience before. It was in the 5th grade and my friends and I were at the school carnival. You see, there was this thing that was called "jail" and people could pay a ticket to get a person in jail. So then this bully paid a ticket to try to get me in jail and a bunch of his friends plus him started to drag me to jail. I was resistant and I kept my ground but then, the bully put his beefy hands on my neck so that it cut off my windpipe and I couldn't breath for at least 50 seconds. I could only hold my breath for 25 seconds so I started getting dizzy then and there. My eyes were closing for some reason and then I heard my friend yell, "Stop! You're choking him!" And if he hadn't said that I would have been dead. Right before I passed out I saw a second of my future. Which was really weird 'cause they always say you get a glimpse of the future when you almost die. Near death experience. Yeah...

Every one of these experiences can be attributed to a misfiring or lack of oxygen to the brain. Which are things you would expect to happen if you're dying.
We speak of death as if it is a metaphorical hallucination that we can actually experience, when in fact, death is merely a state of the human condition. Death describes the state of non life, and therefore, how can you know what non life is when you are in fact still alive? You don't experience death in any form, near or far, it is just something that is. You are either dead or alive, a near death experience does not constitute that you are beginning to feel the effects of death, it just means that you are close to being in a non living state. Any visions or sights that would be contributed to death are merely hallucinogenic and are generated from a panicked neurological state.
Again, as I'm sure one of the other very intelligent users has posted (although tl;dr) these are most commonly attributed to a lack of oxygen to the brain. Interesting factoid: numerous fighter pilots have reported the 'white light' and numerous other experiences attributed to 'near death' experiences at high-g maneuvers in which much the blood is pulled away from the brain.
