the Shema is the ultimate declaration of who a person is and his place in the universe, his purpose in living and - and- EVERYTHING! Think about it: when someone says the Shema, they're saying, "Hear, O Israel, Hashem is our G-d, Hashem is One." That's covering all the bases: I am a proud Jew, part of the Jewish Nation, Hashem is my G-d, and I want to do His will. How much more visceral can you get than that? When people say Shema before they die, it's a final, proud, and dedicated declaration of who they are, despite death or suffering: a proud Jew.
