To those of you traumatized by what agony you think "Neda" was in as she lay wounded and died, I can assure you she felt none. I highly recommend the book "
How We Die", by Dr. Sherwin Nuland, who methodically using studies shows how our bodies are equipped with mechanisms to make us unaware and even blissful when we have suffered a fatal trauma. You can see it at work clearly in the eyes of "Neda". First as she lay there, she looks confused, disoriented, but not grimacing or in pain. then as blood comes out her mouth and then nostrils, and in the photo shown above, she has an almost disturbing calm over fer face. Dr. Nuland describes in his book a 10-year old victim of a multiple-stabbing murderer, whose mother witnessed her death and was shocked to see a look of surprise and then peace on her face. The mother was convinced her daughter did not realize what happened and did not suffer as she died. We truly have a merciful God who loves us.

I wonder if Nuland can explain why a soldier cries out in pain and fear of death after they suffer a fatal trauma.
