(September 13, 2009 at 10:36 am)Retorth Wrote: When the word "dead" or "died" is used in this instance, it isn't in the literal sense. When you suffer a permanent concussion and lose all memory permanently, it is obviously agreed that you are still very much alive. However, the "original" you has "died" in the mental sense, not being the same anymore.

I agree, though, that "dead" perhaps isn't the best word to use lol

I figured it couldn't have been meant in the literal sense, but in any case, to me, dead will always be the opposite of "alive", and in what strange metaphorical sense is the mind said to be "alive"? I haven't posted in a while, so really I'm just being picky about semantics. Any excuse to start typing really Tongue
