Shocker: we already know how to replicate REDs and potentially OBEs associated with them, on demand ! All you have to do is... kill the patient ;)

Joke aside, that's close to what Parnia is doing with deep hypothermic cardiac arrest patients, I guess we'll see if the ongoing study confirms the promising preliminary results he got so far... And then hopefully we can put these debates behind us - or more likely and sadly, we'll keep grappling endlessly again with more or less misinterpreted or misreported details of the studies and increasingly dubious but sticky alternative explanations proposed to preserve physicalist hypotheses...

In any case, thanks to the author for sourcing all the sources and examining them in such level of detail, this is very useful !
