For decades, researchers have looked at the phenomenon of near-death experiences, or NDEs for short. These experiences have been reported by individuals all over the world, happening at a time when conscious thought and sensation should not be able to happen. This paper reviews the history of NDEs and attempts to explain them using the most prevalent theories in the field today. By understanding NDEs, researchers and scientists would have the opportunity to understand human consciousness and what truly happens when we take our last breath.
