Dramatized clickbait headline.
What the article actually says is more like “we might be able to revive you if not too many if your cells have died, even if your heart and brain seem to have stopped.”
AKA they are working on a next tier of CPR.
My death is when I permanently stop experiencing life.
Not sure what that means for an 'Upload' scenario... I guess he's just a swamp man of me and he's alive but I'm not anymore... but I'm not signing up for the digital afterlife anyway.
There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead.
The article by the Guardian that is linked is very interesting! I can really recommend reading it to people interested in this stuff.
Thanks for recommending the guardian link. Crazy stories in there and an interesting conclusion on what we're learning about death.
Makes me wonder about organ donations and if the timing for those may change based on newer findings...
I mean it depends. If you get liquified by the implosion of a submersible three quarters of the way to the Titanic, there’s not much of a process.
A very momentary process.
just science related topics. please contribute
