you contradict yourself.

they don't
is it comprehensible.....
That Terry Shiavo woman or whatever her name was. That woman that had that feeding tube removed by a US court order in 2005, i think. I heard she was unable to feel pin at all. Like there was a missing or non-working part of her brain that allowed her to feel pain and it was invalid. So she didn't feel pain when she was killed.
I do believe that it would depend on alot of things, such as how you die, how long it takes you to die, where you die,what your thinking as you die (emotional pain), and where the death is initiated from such as a gunshot to the leg that caused great bleeding and wont stup (not likely) or a gunshot to the head which would be more instant with a slight chance for your survival and if you did survive you wouldnt for very long or in an intellegent state if your lieing down on a bed or have a "great spiritual connection" you may just meditate to the end of your life and if you do have that "great spiritual connection" it can cause the pain to leave you end your thoughts will be cleared... all it really requires is great concentration on having a clear mind, ive sat in snow in shorts and a t-shirt and couldnt feel the bitter cold until i had been distracted by someone, though the removal of pain would be much harder to clear from your mind but once you do it there would be no pain and you would die peacefully
Kindof a pointless question, who cares? We exprience pain every moment of our lives, wether physiqual or emotional, and death is something that cannot be avoided, so why worry about such things?
A better question would be does the pain stop (or atleast decrease) when one dies, but then, none of us would know untill we ourselves die now would we? It's best then to think about how we can decrease are level of pain here and now, and not concern ourselves with the realm of the dead, who seem to want to be left alone anyway..

i saw a tv show on near death experiences not too long ago actually. as long as you arnt killed instantly or unconcious i think that youd understand whats happening and feel your heart stop for a split second. blood is still circulating so as long as its oxyginated i think youd know. one of the reasons they stopped decapitation is because the head was sometimes still alive for a short time. they even used to pick the head up and show it the body before it died. it was only a few seconds but you can remain concious with no heartbeat.in some of the cases it was very convincing that after the person had died something still occured. a woman had her brain completly drained of blood for an operation and she was able to talk about what happened and what the instruments looked like during the procedure. they dont uncover the instruments until the patient is completly unconcious so she didnt see them before hand, and she didnt regain conciousness until after she had been taked from the room. there was no brain activity at all becuase their was no blood, but she could remember the conversations and what everyone was doing. she said she was in the top corner of the room watching it happen. there were a bunch of cases similar with people ariving unconcious and remembering the nurses faces and what doctors said during the proceedure, but none of them had a patient that was completly braindead like the woman whos brain was drained.
they also had someone explaining why it is that you see a tunnel and all that from a scientific point of view and how certian parts of the eye black out first giving the illusion of a dark tunnel with light at the end. ultimatly the number of cases and some of the details made me side against her pretty strongly. she couldnt explain the woman with no blood and some other things like that.
most of them, reguardless of the trauma, said it was peaceful and painless. the woman who didnt believe in it said that the brain releases alot of hormones that would give you a euphoria just before you died, so while you might feel your heart stop very briefly i dont think it would bother you much. if you were burning alive or something like that you might still feel alot of pain and stuff but if you were shot or suffered extreme injuries and were still concious, it seems that from a scientific and spiritual point of view that your last moments wouldnt involve much pain at all. leading up would but when your heart was about to stop beating and your brain was dying you would feel peaceful and happy.
I wouldn't know 've never died but i reckon it would hurt i mean when u stop breathing it could be like you are suffocating 😕

For some, I believe the process of being dying, the struggle during the time period until their actual death can be painful, depending on the diagnose. But once the moment has arrived, I imagine it to be peaceful and liberating.
