That’s interesting. Most of my not inconsiderable experience with dying people has been that they’re mostly ready to get on with it. If they needed to be drugged it was typically for pain, which wasn’t the least of the reasons they were ready to move on. But my experience is in a rural Texas agricultural community, where older people especially tend to be Christian believers as well as pretty matter of fact about biilogical realities and often more than usually beat up by old age (especially the men).
