Death Takes A Toll On Health

Death Takes A Toll On Health

Studies have shown that stress from dying and even death itself takes a major toll on our health. Stress from dying can cause actual changes within our bodies and even affect the whole body. Dr. Soduko Ramji, a researcher at an institution with a government grant said, “Studies on rats that were being killed have shown that this process was very stressful to them.” How does this translate into information we can use on humans? He said, “We don’t know. With current laws passed by Congress we are not capable of carrying out these important experiments at this time. These experiments have been previously carried out in many other countries, but the data were lost or severely compromised. With a change in administrations and a more sympathetic Congress, maybe these onerous and limiting laws can be changed.”
