When does human life end?

When does human life end?

Is it when the heart stops?

When brain activity ceases?

When someone's ability to understand what is happening around them goes away? When their memories and cogent thoughts cease to form?

 

[skye]

When the soul who has ben living in that body leaves it.

Then human life ceases to exist.

But what do I know. I'm not dead yet. LOL

That's a good question.

Legally when the ticker stops.

Functionally however, cognitive decline kinda kills the show.

I had an experience with my third grade teacher, when I was much older.

The memories I had...and the reality of then was shocking.

She wasn't there anymore.

Supposedly..........scientifically.............life ends when the heart no longer works and the brain has ceased to function.

Total cessation of brain activity.

Okay, but do you mean brain dead, but still alive? Like, a vegetable?

How should I know?
I'm not a Biologist. .....

Not much of a comedian, either

When does that happen?

When does that happen?

When people die.

Yes, like Joe Biden.

It's called the "time of death." They probably even put it on death certificates.

About 20 seconds after your heart stops. You are still conscious until the O2 stops renders you dead
Technically it takes hours for all the cells to die in the body

 

[Hang on Sloopy]

Yes, like Joe Biden.

OMFG. He just stepped in a wet pile of Biden shat..lolololo

What a punking...lol

When your awareness is gone. Your body may even still function in some manner due to the intervention of medical science but your life is over when your personality no longer exists. It's one of reasons I fear Alzheimer's worst than anything. There's no definable moment when someone can say there is nothing of you left.

 

[froggy]

This life is just to prepare you for eternity

So, you mean when brain activity ceases.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

When people die.

That's circular.

It takes a little bit time for all brain cells to die

Life is over for me when one can't wipe their ass anymore

So if the brain died, but the other cells lived 20 more years, you would probably still mourn that person as gone, or essentially dead.
