What does dying feel like?

Saturday, 13 October 2007 22:23 GMT

IF you have ever wondered what dying feels like, you will find your interest in the New Scientist article, How does it feel to die?.

The article describes various dying processes in great detail. These include drowning (which I find particularly intriguing: 55% of drowning victims were good swimmers and died within 30 to 90 seconds a mere 3 metres from safey), bleeding (which is described as more alarming than painful), and falling from great heights (which is the nastiest way to die).

The author rightly warns that the article may not be appropriate to everyone lest they suffer a stroke. Which, incidentally, is also covered.

  1. Are you saying that if you had a choice, you would choose drowning ? :-)

    My view on death: We won’t know what it’s exactly like until we die, but once dead, we cannot pass on this knowledge.

  3. PATRICK, These dying processes are based on accounts given by people who have had near-death experiences. “Near-death” is characterised by the loss of consciousness which precedes the brain shutting down in the process of dying.
