Science to my knowledge does explain some of the phenomena around NDE's, but not all.
Science does explain what the light a the end of the tunnel is.
Its basically the same mechanism that causes frost bite in the extremities except in the eyes.
Blood is taken from the peripheries and transferred to the center of the eye till all that is remains is a pinhole sized amount of vision.
As for people having knowledge of events that occurred while they were 'dead' science says that the brain does still remains active for quite some time. But this nothing to explain knowledge of events that occurred in other rooms.
Though I don't think science has any explanation for out of body experiences, meeting with higher powers, old relatives, etc etc.
Granted it is easy to say all of those are just a product of dying mind. Arcum's razor isn't always correct.
Besides I am an agnostic atheist. And though I don't believe in a higher power, I don't claim that one does not exist.
Clearly we don't know everything, and thus it would be folly for us to say, "That is just biology' or 'That is the spirit leaving the body'

Star and flag, interesting top be sure. I too have had the NDE experience, and had the opportunity to actually question the famous "Light." I posted in here what I discovered by interacting with this machine, and it is a machine, but got a great deal of ridicule and the thread was somewhat trolled to death. I was shown all of the "heavens" that one could go to, and was also shown that one can design their own afterlife if they so desire, but one must begin this project long before the physical death of the body. My own afterlife was built a very long time ago, I have been there many times, and will visit there again soon. In many ways I cannot wait for some R&R, I am old, tired, and hurt all the time.

I agree - in fact I think it's possible that drugs and even insanity are misunderstood portals to realities the rest of us are not able to comprehend and by the looks of the physical state of the bodies experiencing the portals - maybe humans aren't really supposed to spend too much physical time in those portals.
As for her claims - a lot of doctors are checking her and the files out. If nothing else - I always enjoy watching western medicine scratch their heads a little ;]
