still an interesting point--during minor trauma, the endorphin levels may be raised, but not to the point that you feel more 'at peace' than you would on a normal day--just enough that you can stay functional and take care of yourself properly. Why would the brain cause a sense of peace when you're in mortal throes?
On the other hand, for every story of a person saying that they felt a sense of peace at the moment of death, there are probably 10 that say they never felt worse pain ever in their entire life before they were rescued from the fire, pulled out of the cold water, given a morphine injection, etc.
