Can we trust deathbed regrets?

?Deathbed folks are usually far from their analytical peak ? they are often in great pain, and rather muddle-headed. So why would we think their comments especially insightful? I suspect we attach unrealistic significance to deathbed words because we are terrified to think about death, and eager to show our devotion to the dead and dying.?

? Robin Hanson doesn?t buy the idea that these deathbed regrets are a good guide to living life.
