Massive Study to Investigate Near-Death Experiences

Terri Potratz, I like this story. It's good stuff. Just found this on NowPublic after coming across this article about the study in the Sudbury Star. According to this article, 10-20% of NowPublic.com users have had a Near Death Experience (extrapolating). This article also includes the concerns raised by some Gnostics about the study, which i agree with; it's good that studies are being made, but they point out that people report a wide range of experiences, and don't always report an in-the-room out of body experience. This is actually my own expeience; got stabbed and was told later by friends that the cops had told them the medics told them i was dead; they were taping the place off to be a murder scene when the medics corrected themselves.

What i remember, in a nut shell: first, becoming instantly wide awake from a semi-sleep blood loss state, as i popped out of my body. I was aware of only pitchblackness, no body. As I'd read about this before, i had no doubt i was dying, thought "oh, shit!!!" and prayed, "God, i'm in your hands- there's nothing i can do." Instantly i was back in my body, groggy, in pain and aware of medics working on me. Afterwards, I read a bunch of books on it, i didn't develop any psychic abilities, as some report- it did change my perspective somewhat. I had to give a speech on a memorable experience for a class and recounted it, i haven't gotten around to adapting it for online.
