Certainly, if individuals who have experienced such out of body events were only undergoing some sort of chemical reaction or hallucination, there would be no way for them to be aware of some of the events and occurrences that they claim to have seen while dying.
In the event of most NDE (near-death experiences), most patients are clinically brain dead. This means that there is no brain activity taking place and any kind of consciousness is presumably spiritual or otherwise. In one account of an NDE, Dr Michael Sabom describes a rare procedure conducted on a woman in which it was necessary to render her brain dead in order to safely undergo the procedure that she required. Her basil body temperature was reduced to 60 degrees Fahrenheit and all brain activity has ceased on monitors. The patient later reported details occurring in the operating room which she could not have known unless present when they happened. She also reported similar events that other patients reporting NDEs have reported. Seemingly the only real evidence science may have at this point on the validity of NDEs is the reports from patients who provide information that they would otherwise have no access to. (Sabom, 1998).
In research conducted by author Mark Fox, an religious or spiritual approach is taken on the topic of NDEs. On one hand, there is the aspect of scientific research that seeks out empirical evidence for such occurrences, but for those who embrace spirituality and a notion that people are more than just physical beings, the concept of life after death is a topic of faith and not science. Most NDEs are described as a feeling of floating, being in a tunnel of sorts, the presence of a being or of light, visions or encounters with deceased friends or loved ones, visions of floating over top of their own dying or a dead body. From a scientific aspect, this has been explained as a series of chemical reactions that take place in the brain as a response to lack of blood flow or lack of oxygen to the brain.
