thoughts?

if this is a topic already, SORRY.

u lay in the ground from then on out.

^

i mean, besides the obvious.

that's all in my opinion. people around u miss u, u lay in the ground.

^ HAHA.
so what happens to your spirit/soul, if you believe in that stuff?

i don't believe it, so u'll have to ask someone else :)

Your heart stops, oxygen is missing from your brain, blood stops pumping, your brain stops working, you stop breathing, your body stops working, someone finds you, they set up a funeral, you are buried/cremated, and then people come to pay their respects.

All perceivable signs of consciousness and life subside suggesting, largely, that we die and "disappear" from existence in all respects of the term. From our neurological acuteness to our experience with damaged brain tissue, it appears as if the seat of all human characteristic and life is organic and expendable. Once the light goes out, it's extinguished forever. We die, and we stay that way.

In short, nothing happens when we die.

You go to the place where you were destined to go to.

Your body decomposes. Fun.

But it's party time for all the little worms!

You move on. Everything comes in cycles, I don't see why death should be any different.

Nothing

You're taken by aliens.

nice explanation.


which is?

Sorry it wasn't the answer you were looking for.

^no i wasnt being sarcastic. i really like it.

We rejoice in fellowship with the spirits of the loved ones who have passed before us before we begin another life.

I prefer to believe that when you die your soul goes to a better place, if you've lived a pretty decent life being kind to others, being respectful, supportive, etc etc but maybe that's because I'm overly sensitive.

You first and then report back to me.

i dont think anything happens to you when you die.
like its that feeling before you were born, you didnt know anything and you cant visualize anything because you arent real, you dont exist. i think the same goes for when you die. THAAATS just me tho.

Sounds like quite the fairytale. Care to substantiate those claims?

Don't take shit so seriously.

Speaking of shit, I heard you empty your bowels when you go. Plus, you actually feel an intense high where you don't feel any pain at all. Least that's what I heard.

The debate thread is sort of intended just for that (taking "shit seriously"). If I was missing subtle sarcasm, oops.



Yeah, you definitely shit yourself. As goes the intense high, I'm not entirely sure. However, Near Death Experience (for example) , which is caused be a decrease of oxygen to the brain, has been recreated in the laboratory (or the centrifuge) and that phenomena could be identified as a sort of "high" or out-of-body painlessness.

This is really an absurd question. How can anyone truly debate what happens to the spirit of an individual after their heart stops? If I added a smiley, the sarcasm in my previous post would've been too obvious.

The whole shit thing; its definitely true. Being around people when they die is mad creepy.

With an appeal to modern science. The human body is becoming less and less of a mystery to us each and every day. It isn't impossible to make reasonable and, at least in part, demonstrative extrapolations concerning the question of human expiration. Further, we can at least examine the evidence (or lack there of) and discuss its innumerable implications.

Also, whoever said anything about a spirit?



Oh. It's kind of hard to tell - seeing as a majority of people actually believe that sort of shit.

Relgiously, there's got to be something more to life than just being born, living to eat, sleep, and breathe, only ending up to die. Our brains are so complex for something so simply as living life. And so, I believe there is life after death.

People keep saying that sort of thing, but there's only one little part of our brains separating us from wild animals. The rest of the structure of the other animal is not so different from our own. Why are they excluded? Why do they not have souls when they simply live life and are equally as complex? Living life itself is very complex and there's several thousands of reactions going on inside your body right now enabling you just to live.

When would you be considered "dead"?

If anyone watches the show House, Dr. House was technically dead for 2 minutes, but was brought back. So he wasn't dead, was he?

If your heart stops pumping, you can be brought back. If your brain is dysfunctional, you can be kept alive by life support (coma).

You are declared dead when your heart stops for more than a certain period of time. In very rare cases, you can be revived. Your brain can be "dead," but that doesn't mean you as a bodily entity are dead.

Ah, I see. I've never been into the subject or had much of an interest in it. I've always had the mindset that if you dwell on a feasible notion that there is an afterlife, you lose sight of the life you're living. Although, this is an interesting subject.



I've never really had much of a belief. I've explored and tried to learn about other religions or sects of Christianity, then I stopped caring because it had no real bearing on how I live my life.

You turn into a tree.

You become a ghost, and you get to float around and watch people, when they can't see you. It's like having no-clip and invisibility and god mode in LIFE. But watch out for those ghostbusters.

First, your body is dissected by weird people like me.
Then, put into a casket or cremated depending on your plans or what your family thinks you want.
Finally, you are either spread in some "meaningful" place, set on a shelf, or rotting 6 feet under.

What happens to your soul? Well, it's just like it was before you were born. Do you remember that? Of course, not because it's a vast nothingness.

^ dude, thats exactly what i believe, in a nutshell.

Awesome!

No one ever has the same thoughts about it that I do.

^ HIGH 5. seriously.

I think my ghost theory is better.

Touchè.

i wonder if you can turn this person back to life by reactivating the basic needs into the body system?

I wonder if it's possible to fix a car by replacing all the broken parts and putting fuel in?

Of course it is. But, unlike a car, we don't know exactly how the human anatomy works, and we can't just make a heart to put into someone. Organ donors aren't as abundant as tires.

The heart isn't the only thing that dies when you die. If your body stops functioning, you can't revive it simply by replacing the organs. The rest of your cells have died. Your blood has dried out. There are things that develop throughout a lifetime and need to keep happening in order to sustain life.

But, this is neither here nor there.

I just wanted to be buried next to Heath Ledger.

^ LOL. But you wouldn`t realize it if you were.

yknow dead people can move if you shock them with electricity to a certain part of the brain? We all know different parts of the brain control different parts of your body. If you shocked them at the right place, their arm might move or their leg. I'm pretty sure speech still works too - just not intelligent speech, obviously.

Just thought I'd share that.

i've always wondered, many people say the "after-life" but i'm not sure if we really know that exists. i guess we have to wait and see where we go.

That's creepy.

LOL

Become a form of energy, that's for sure.

What the f**k does that mean? And how the shit are you sure of something so unclear?
