2. Explain how the processes of death and dying can have different outcomes or scenarios depending on choosing different paths.
jekas [21]
Death is the end of life. Dying is the process of approaching death, including the choices and actions involved in that process. The process of death is when someone is dying, their heartbeat and blood circulation slow down. The brain and organs receive less oxygen than they need and so work less well. In the days before death, people often begin to lose control of their breathing. It's common for people to be very calm in the hours before they die.
