A nice job of covering the basics of the near-death experience in that the author balanced his belief by citing experts pro and con NDEs.

I've covered the phenomenon for years now as a journalist. Increasingly, those who try to refute NDEs employ deduction and those who try to prove it, induction. Deduction gave us intelligent design. Induction gave us the cosmos. Ironically, the scientists arguing against NDEs are on the side of angels and astrologists this time. Those who document NDEs are writing for the medical journals--an ironic twist of fate.
