Why not just use hypnotism, or people who have trained themselves to have Out of Body Experiences?
Because from a scientific perspective it simply won’t work. Several researchers have already tried to research Out of Body Experiences, in this manner, but none have yet produced conclusive, unambiguous, scientifically reproducible positive results. While many would consider it a somewhat drastic approach, any positive result produced by the NDExp will be inherently reproducible by anyone, anywhere and therefore able to stand up in the court of scientific opinion.
