when people have chronic pain that they can't get rid of they are tuaght to meditate. i'm not sure if it ever works, but i guess it does sometimes because poeple keep doing it. and i've heard monks can make their hearts stop beating.

Also people in comas can maybe feel pain. a study showed that the same pain matrix in both comatose people's brains and healthy people's brains lights up when they are given painful stimuli. i don't know what a pain matrix is, but if comatose brains somehow respond to pain, does that mean comatose people still have an i-funtion somewhere?
