   Didn't read the whole thread, but did anybody point out that   
   out-of-body doesn't necessarily imply afterlife? If true, all   
   out-of-body proves is that living people can somehow experience   
   far-away events. Weird, yes. But it doesn't prove dead carcasses   
   can experience anything ("Night of the Living Dead" notwithstanding).   
   That would be even weirder.   
      I'd have to guess that, if true, out-of-body means that your   
   living brain is somehow responsible for generating your out-of-body   
   persona. Kill off your in-body brain and it's bye-bye to that   
   out-of-body you, too.   
      Anyway, I'd go along with those 0% successes, and guess that   
   it's all a bunch of malarkey. Why does anybody follow up on   
   this kind of foolishness? If you've got nothing better to do,   
   then just trying to think of something better to do would still   
   be better than this. Right?
