I’ve heard of people with near death experiences having these calm, soothing experiences. It’s lovely that our brains do this for us.
I know there’s a natural selection, those with the best characteristics continued, and those who didn’t have the qualities to survive would pass away. But everyone dies in the end. What made it so that all brains release those chemicals to ease our last moments?

If you’ve ever watched some kids chase rabbits around a field, what happens is that eventually one of the rabbits just gives up. Just sits there, calm, not running anymore. And all the other rabbits get away. It is an evolutionary advantage for the group DNA if one individual gets caught and all the rest of the family escapes.
It may well have been in our DNA since before we climbed up into the trees.
