Inducing an NDE

Our scientific knowledge has advanced enough that we can induce temporary death with a relatively high probability of resuscitating the person without causing any permanent brain damage. Does anyone know if theres a way to do this can be done legally in a clinical setting? I'd like to do it myself but I'd prefer to do it in a clinical setting rather than chemically inducing heart failure at home and having a friend rescusitate me with a pair of defibrillators. Only joking, I wouldn't actually do it at home, but I will do it in a proper clinical setting if I find a legal way to do it. Has anyone here looked into this?

This is probably not a suitable topic for debate ...

Certain things 'you' shouldn't experiment with and I feel this is one of them.

I'm am not sure clinical death guarantees an NDE. Besides that, I do not believe a medical doctor would support this or that it would be ethical for a doctor to do without valid medical reason. I also imagine a doctor would quickly loose his or her malpractice insurance if this was done in the name of curiosity.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru

I read of a girl who tried to commit suicide twice just for the sake of having an NDE. Thing is both times she didn't experience anything. It turned her from a Christian to an atheist. She also suffered a lot of psychological problems because of it.

I think trying to force an NDE will leave you with a wiped memory and if not psychologically insane then probably just very disappointed. It doesn't work.

I think you should leave this be.. it's not very wise, or practical for that matter.

There are other ways to God you know without having to go all radical on yourself.

What's wrong with waiting until you're on your death bed anyway? Hmm?

Maybe first you should try working on the fear inside yourself that wants this so bad for the sake of confirmation. It would make you a lot happier.

Just my two cents.

Have you ever seen the movie Flatliners, with Julia Roberts? The storyline is exactly what you described. Warning....this movie is not Rainbow Bridge and butterflies

So glad you have "Only joking" there. I think my jaw was almost on the floor in shock by that point of your post.

Anything which introduces a "death state" even in a clinic, wouldnt be good and healthy as it means the brain is being starved of oxygen and nutrients even if only for a short time.

Ive also heard of people not being able to be brought back even after a short time, things could go unpredictably wrong.

That's a very good point made above. Lots of people experience being dead for a short time (people have serious accidents all the time) but only a small amount of them do ever have a NDE.
