It was a serious question and I gave a serious answer.

You may all be correct, but many people near the end are genuinely distressed when an EMHC or even a deacon shows up. I think some people grossly understate the comfort and peace of mind that many find to hear absoluton in their last hours.

Not to mention that in practice, a dying person may not be able to digest anything in his or her last few hours, if not days. My family was with my father for his last couple of days and try as much as he could, he couldn’t swallow anything or even open his mouth. Saturday he was given his Last Rites; Monday he died. But I know he was at peace.
