My goldfish is in its tank behind me as I type. It has curved over and is just floating still, except for a few occaisional twitches when it floats above the water. It is dying.

It is probably in pain. I don't think you can die without being in pain. It has just started me wondering, is animal pain the same as human pain? Is causing an animal to feel pain any less serious than causing a human to feel pain?

This is a bit of a half-formed topic, but I havn't had time to think about this much. Anybody have any thoughts?

Do cold blooded animals not feel pain then?

Fish are cold blooded. So no.
