Have you ever seen a pond or pool filter run dry? I mean, the water is in there, there just isn't enough to get into the filter ... so it kinda sputters and dies horribly with that God-awful gargling sound.
I imagine the human heart works the same way, save the sound effects.

But perhaps it has more to do with the human mind that the human heart -- the will to survive.

Perhaps. Pretty unsettling concept.

Holding that 9 times out of 10 the head is elevated above the heart in these situations, I would have to say that the neural tissue would die first and possibly even stop the heart from working all before anything had the chance to let the brain know something was wrong.
As I see it, you start bleeding, you realize you are either going to be helped or die, you may try to help yourself, you swoon, you are either helped ... or you die. 9 times out of 10, of course.

"Helped or die"?
I'm not so certain it's an "or" situation. I'm drawn to recall a short commentary... some mental exploration from the movie "David Gale". Perhaps it's simply an option when all other options are lost.
"But there comes
a point in life... a moment,
when your mind outlives its desires...
its obsessions;
when your habits survive your dreams.
And when your losses...
Maybe death is a gift.
You wonder."

What is it that keeps us going in the first place? What makes us, as humans, not generally want to die?

Prospects, potential... hope. Sometimes, just simple denial of the realities before us.

Be that as it may, I would have thought something far less complicated. The very Socratic: Why not?
