Why do our brains release these ‘chemicals’ that make us not afraid in our last moments?

849 views

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?

It’s a story; you hear about it because it’s what people want to hear, and especially it’s something that people say when they are comforting someone who is dealing with a loss.

As the body fails, the brain fails too, and one of the odd things it can randomly do while it’s falling apart is generate euphoria. The brain might not necessarily fall apart in that particular way.
