Atheism and Life Support
January 4, 2012 at 12:53 pm
Mods: If this post is in the wrong area, please move it.

Many people say that when a person is brain-dead, s/he still has some measure of life that should be prolonged. I don't know much about this. Can a comatose person really hear and understand what is spoken to them even though s/he cannot respond? I have doubts about it. Theists say that the person's soul/spirit is active even though the body is simply in reflex-mode.

What is the atheistic viewpoint?
