based on another thread's bantering with a right wing, anti a woman's right to choose, poster who kept on asking "when does life begin"?.......
I responded that life for an embryo officially begins when that embryo can breathe a FIRST breath on his/her own.
So, .I pose the opposite question.....
When do we declare someone DEAD ???
Depending on the temperature around the body, the human heart can restart anywhere from a minute or two, out to maybe 7-8 minutes after it's stopped....warmer the environment, the quicker you're officially dead. The brain deprived of blood is a different matter...they may be resuscitating a vegetable.
