dy156: well this at least is a step in the right direction for such a debate, as at least it represents some kind of an argument (unlike most of the sad tired creationist objections). However, it happens to be a rather deceptive claim:

Endorphin levels are elevated even by relatively minor trauma. Alleviating the pain and stress of a person who has suffered a trauma can keep them functional enough to take life-saving actions such as staunching the bleeding or seeking help. That endorphins are released also during fatal trauma is a side effect.
