Great article, Mark.

In Medicine, Death is defined as ‘Organs shutdown’, precluding unconsciousness.
The body doesn’t perceive pain with loss of consciousness.
Unconsciousness and Coma are different despite the features look equal.
Coma is the inability to react to stimuli, the reason Palliative Care is employed in comatose conditions.

It is agreed that the last stage of death is always peaceful.

When Science and Faith meet.

God bless
