Begging the question

After publishing an obituary for Dr. Peter Fenwick, who had extensively studied near-death experiences, the New York Times collected readers' recollections.  

I read the eight short stories, and for the first time, I wondered, "These are the people who came back.  How many others got to that point and didn't return to life on Earth?  

If I reach that place with the bright light and the feeling of peace, and I see loved ones that I haven't seen since they died, why not stay?  If my favorite cat is there to greet me, I'll probably say "OK, I'm home now."
