Near-Death Experiences: Skepticism

The phenomenon of Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) is hard to test, or experiment, and is therefore hard to prove.

The similarity of stories or the various feelings(like euphoria) can be explained by science in myriad ways: The brain might be fantasizing or dreaming to escape the reality of death, or the brains feel-good chemicals might have flooded the consciousness.

Science, which often finds the claims as wobbly and anti-science, can explain NDEs as complex hallucinations.
