Yes, I am terrified that people think she survived. Someone on the official FB page asked if she lived and the admin said no, she died. The OP then said, "But why, she did everything right!" I no longer want to live on this planet.

It's very clear she is dead due to all of Parabolola's facts which he states in the first comment.
The thing I found extremely shocking and depressing was how nice and Innocent Grace was in the film and at how one moment she is fine coloring in like any kid and the next moment she's dead, You don't get to see hardly any of the procedure of opening either of the girls up it just escalates in a way that I have never seen in any other film which left me breath taken with my hands on my face saying oh god no
The fact that you see Grace with her eyes open at the very end tells you that she actually woke up from the chloroform and was awake moments before dying, I find that absolutely horrific and it hasn't been able to get out of my head for days which I'm assuming was the point of the ending of the film, to leave it's audience speechless.
But overall it was an absolutely amazing film in my opinion and I'd give it a 9/10. -

Even thought it would have only been for a brief few moments, I cant even grasp how horrific it would be to be in her shoes at that point and lets just hope that you don't have the problem this film gave me with not being able to leave my mind for about 2 weeks xD

I was undergoing surgery when I was 4 years old~and woke up in the middle of it. They said I tried to get up and had to struggle to get me to take more ether. It turns out that ether, which was often used back then, didn't have a lasting effect on me. When I had surgeries when I was 10, they had to find another anesthetic that would be sure to keep me out.
I don't have a clear memory of what happened, but I told my mother about the experience when she was with me in the recovery room. She thought I had a nightmare till they assured her that it really had happened. I can't say what I felt, but I am certain it had a lifelong effect on me, a very serious one.
So, imagine if she did regain consciousness even partway through. shiver With CF and the malfunctioning lungs, she possibly didn't take in enough chloroform to keep her under. Now, THAT is a horror film!

Well you have to remember that anything can happen in a movie, but I don't understand what would make anyone think Grace had any hope. This would go from a really interesting movie to absolutely ridiculous if Grace lived in the end and the family went on happily ever after.

This is just my opinion, but I think the ending we got in
Excision
is the kind that cause lots of wishful thinking because it disturbs the viewer so much. It's hard seeing a young and innocent character die while everything practically goes to hell for the rest of the people involved. Thus, for some people it's probably easier to tolerate and accept the conclusion if they interpret it with a sense of ambiguety that gives them the possibility to imagine a happier outcome.
Of course, there's no way Grace could have lived, but by speculating the possibility it becomes easier to live with for certain viewers.
watched it last night and I am still thinking about the ending now..
