People with strong religious beliefs 'fight death the hardest'

Isn't this interesting? You would think that a firm belief in a (presumably happy) afterlife would have the exact opposite effect, eh? The implication here is that the studies subjects were Christian, but that's never actually said.

I know my beliefs have certainly changed my outlook on death - in fact, I have a whole essay on the topic of death, culture and religion that's currently gracing my desktop. With any luck, I'll get around to finishing it - and posting here someday.

People with strong religious beliefs appear to want doctors to do more to keep them alive
