Morse says near death experiences are easier for children to accept Not all near death experiences are positive, for some it is frightening and others disorienting. Perhaps the fears regarding death could be eliminated if people had some control over when we die. Sociology Professor, David Phillips, says some people do. It's a concept called the will to live. His research shows that people apparently stretch to reach important occasions.
Men are more likely to die in the week before their birthday.
Women in the week after their birthday. Perhaps these glimpses of the dying experience give us reason to re-evaluate our fear of death. Skeptics believe that near death experiences are, instead, fear experiences, a reaction to drugs, or lack of oxygen to the brain. Morse says this theory has been proven wrong.
