I've identified a single difference between living people and dead people. -The- difference, in context. Sure, we can make a heart beat and pump blood, we can even make artificial hearts. A person who is brain dead is alive, until we pull the plug, sure. It;s used as an indicator for legal death, though...gets the hospital off the hook for pulling that plug. Again, I think you're discussing legal terms and not biological states. May as well say "we're certainly not bodies because the law says so", and miss the entire discussion.
I'm asserting that the person and the body are not the same.
