Good question, but if you study it with an objective mind and look at the data properly, you can soon see that the far majority actually experience the same thing. Obviously there are exceptions to this rule, but they have learned from that experience and changed their path in life. Muslims have even been revived to announce they have the wrong religion. This is virtually a death sentence to them. Even Doctors, having experienced it for themselves, have come back and said it is real and not illusion.
You know, science once claimed it was a chemical process due to lack of oxygen when close to death. This was 'assumed' because test pilots in a centrifuge or pulling high G's in their aircraft experienced very similar things. The difference is, their brains were active. In theatre, due to the problems associated with Anaesthesia, brain activity is often monitored to ensure pain relief is working, and the patient is sleeping. In cases where people die on the table, they show no brain activity which means they cannot be having illusions. There is far more to it than this though. Patients have recovered to say there are particular objects on hospital roof tops. They are there. They have given accurate descriptions of other patients who entered and left the hospital during the time they were in theatre. Scientifically we cannot ignore such data because it can be proved. We can't simply choose what to believe or not believe when the evidence is supported.
