Very interesting discussion. I’d like to contribute that perhaps some of the “dread” observed with the dying may have partial physiological causes? The deterioration of the body includes various organs malfunctioning. Would guess most of us have experienced the “dread” that comes with food poisoning or a hangover. What was that old saying ? “You're only a-live as your live-er, or something like that. Often the liver is severely compromised after an illness or as we age.
