It is obvious that when you are alive consciousness need the body and the brain to be perceived but as thousand of NDEs tell us consciousness doesn't need the brain anymore when the body-brain are no longer there.
If you refuse to believe in these NDEs that is then your problem as it is your problem to believe that NDEs are hallucinations.
No, Riketto, no. They are called Near Death Experiences because the person is not dead. NDEs occur in not dead brains.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
