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?

Near death experiences… so those people survived. Had they been in fight or flight mode they probably would have died, but let’s go beyond humans and look at other animals. Several animals have a similar thing when hunted by predators. They just hit a point where they give up, and rarely on that occasion the predator leaves them alone thinking there was something wrong, or the animal was dead & they could conserve energy. So at a certain point near death you have a better chance of surviving if you do nothing than if you try to survive.
