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

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. 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. QUOTE 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. 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 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. |

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. |

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.
