Does it hurt when you die?

death doesn't hurt but dying does.

this sounds a lot like childbirth...

except there's no slimy baby at the end.

.... or is there?

I think the best way to avoid the painful stressful dyeing experience might be getting blown to crap by an atom bomb or something.

All I CAN say is that life is painful, dying is the easy part

The only way to find out is to make a machine that advances your cellular decomposition (pre-mature aging) and wait in your death bed.

I'd say in your sleep. That way the rid yourself of the anxeity and terror awaiting to be pulverized by a bomb would induce.

Well unless you get hit unexpectedly, but still. It's a horribly violent way to go. Phisically painless, maybe, cause there've been atomic bomb survivors, but the psychological impact would be just unbearable for some.

Death, can be an hour long process, when you're psychically shut down, but have a chance to recover. I don't believe this hurts because your brainwaves aren't forming thoughts and pain, which is an evolutionary necessity to let one know if he/she is hurt, so your brain can't form the thought of pain. So, no pain.

And after that, we go into religion.

Whether dying hurts is a matter of how you die, I would think. Suffocating to death vs. a bullet to the brain comes to mind. What's interesting to me is the surge of adrenaline and other physical reactions from your body when you think you're going to die. Ask someone who has had a NDE to explain the crazy feeling you experience when you realize that you are going to die.

Well what do guy's think?

Will you lay there and suffacte cause your lungs have stopped?

Would you feel your heart make it's last beat?

Would you see a ''vision'' or something scary before yop die?

It definitely depends on how you die.

A lot of times, if you're dying from an injury your body will usually go into shock so you'll have a cold, numb feeling.

during the process of die'ing like bleeding out or something yes. but does death itself hurt? we will "NEVER" know because a guy cannot die then come back to tell us...

I think if it is a sleep like death it does not hurt.If you get killed by a gun or knife or fire or whatever I think it may hurt.

I like what Socrates told the court in The Apology: "I do not fear death. It will either spell perpetual slumber, or a chance to meet great Greeks of the past". He was mocking them like a stubborn child, and basically told them to bring it on.

I would really hate to suffocate. I mean, your bowels can rupture within your body. 😐 What a way to go, with your innards covered in sh*t... Damn, that sucks.

depends on how u die.

torture accidents are painful.

as long as your brain recieves pain signals from pain receptors.

if you are dying slowly like a patient dying from old age, i believe there is discomfort/less pain when brain does not recieve as much signals from pain receptors.

Overdose from pain killers = painless way to die
morphine decrease respiration rate or stops breathing

does it hurt when ur born?

No, it feels good.

Unconsciousness = no pain, so hope for that.

Yea thats how I hope I die. It would suck to think that the last thing I may ever remember is getting stabbed and the pain I felt before I died.

I don't know, lemme go check.

EDIT: Nope.
