You have a problem with understanding the burden of proof.
Here's what we know so far:
Who you are, what you think, believe, understand, love, emote over and so on are all inextricably linked to your brain. Damage to parts of the brain can effect any of the above (along with just about all other functionality of the body).
Brain death is, therefore, actual death. To assume that some element of you continues is the thing that requires proof. The absence of proof of that makes the default assumption that nothing continues.
Excuse me, there is no scientist as of yet that had successfully returned from an afterlife and delivered an elaborate report as to what happens after brain death or not happens!
I think the question of an afterlife interests the humanity much more than whether there is a life on Mars or not...
