NDEs only happen when the brain is dead not when is dying.

This is bullshit and you've been corrected on it before.  The brain continues to live on for about 6 minutes after cardiac arrest, during which it is accurately described as 'dying' not as 'dead'.  After those 6 minutes the brain starts to become truly dead, and once vital areas of the brain have died, there is no coming back to tell the experience of an NDE.  They are then dead, finis, kaput.  Not before.

Quote:The brain can survive for up to about six minutes after the heart stops. The reason to learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is that if CPR is started within six minutes of cardiac arrest, the brain may survive the lack of oxygen. After about six minutes without CPR, however, the brain begins to die.

Don't you ever get tired of lying about these things?

BINGO! Thank you. This bullshit about NDEs is not only scientifically absurd, it is also insulting to me personally having watched my mom die. 

If someone comes out of an event, it only means there was just barely enough motion/activity to allow the brain to recover. But once the brain is damaged beyond repair and is completely dead with no motion/activity you dont come back. 

As I said in a prior post, it is horrible to watch someone die. My mom's lips and mouth were twitching which was nothing more than the brain dying shooting off the last bit of neurological activity, then it completely stopped. I went into her room after her death and her hands were pasty white. Her consciousness was no more. 

This crap humans claim about an afterlife is just a human projection of our evolutionary drive to continue. It is a very false perception. I love my mom, I miss her but I am not going to lie to myself and pretend fictional things exist.

There is a huge difference between clinical death, which can be a misdiagnosis where the nurse/doctor/medical device cant detect motion/activity, and that can be merely flying under the radar, but still have just enough there to later come back and be detected. But after too much damage beyond repair after that window of time has completely closed, YOU DONT COME BACK. Once your brain dies BEYOND repair you DONT come back.
