No, you simply deferred the problem. The problem being primarily one of defining what it means for something to be alive or dead. It's not a black or white alternative which yields to your attempted clarification.
I once felt once the heart stopped, breathing stopped the patient was dead. Not so, because there can still be brain activity for some time, generally about five minutes.
However when you have a dead brain, the patient is clinically dead. Actually my opinion is once the neo cortex is dead nobody is home. If someone is skeptical of what many refer to as near death experience I would suggest doing to honest research into it.
