Fair enough. Point taken. But how many have had the unpleasant experience? The first reference to such is a paper by Nancy bush and Bruce Greyson, which opens the study thus: "The great majority of near-death experiences (NDEs) reported publicly over the past four decades have been described as pleasant, even glorious. Almost unnoticed in the euphoria about them has been the sobering fact that not all NDEs are so affirming. Some are deeply disturbing."[0] So most are positive, a minority are deeply disturbing. The overarching purpose here was not however to paint any potential afterlife i glowing terms, it was to highlight the fact that there seems to be a widely (probably under-)reported process that we humans experience when we die. Which seems relevant in a discussion about cryogenics. [0] https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6173534/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6173534/

The key wording here is: > reported publicly For various cultural reasons people rarely want to talk about negative NDE. This is why studies into the phenomenon that look for possible cases are more objective than interviewing people who come forth. So a study like :”A 1975 study conducted by psychiatrist Raymond Moody, MD, PhD, on around 150 patients who all claimed to have witnessed an NDE stated that such an experience has nine steps.” Shows different results than the recent UK Clinical Trials Gateway where out of 465 patients none reported any visual memories.
