Near-death experiences (NDE). Evidence of an afterlife or hallucinations?

[AgnosticBoy]

Here's one definition of near-death experiences:

Many scientists accept that these experiences are real in that they occur, but only a minority would claim that these experiences correspond to a real afterlife. Many probably view them as hallucinations generated by a dying brain.
