What dying feels like
Researchers have recently studied the brains and bodies of dying people to gain new insight into what it feels like to die. First, relaxation. A recent meta analysis found that most people in the Western World will die in medical institutions, where the first sign of death is a loss of hunger and thirst. Physicians call this the beginning of the end of life. Many people are curious, if not a little scared, about what it feels like to die, but scientists are now closer than ever to understanding what actually happens while you're dying.
