Caught just a bit of the Today show and they had a medical doctor, Jeffrey
Long, who had an NDE and then began to research into them. He has written
a book "Evidence of the Afterlife" that refers to the thousands of
NDEs that he has investigated. He has found people who were blind from
birth who had an NDE who related complete visual experiences. He also
investigated several children under five years old who had NDEs. What he
points out is the similarities of NDE and that they are not culturally
influenced. He has a Near Death Experience Research Foundation for
gathering information about NDE and their web site is at http://www.nderf.org/.
Thought that those interested in this topic would be interested in the web
site.
