1-ok you go ahead and give us one, I'll critique if I see it as necessary
2-this point is about a materialist standpoint on the subject. If the most correct answer, however provable or unporvable, ends up being something immaterial, would you be able to set aside your materialist standpoint on just this matter?
4-Here's an abstract http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9738100 I don't have access to their actual studies. It's pretty simple abstractly: Cool the body, use a machine to circulate blood wait for all brain responses (upper and lower) to be 0, fix the problem and then reverse. Albeit most are already experiencing brain problems prior to this stage.
Regardless if there was indeed a brain death clinicaly then the identity would cease at that point from your perspective. It seems very testable, if anyone's survived actual brain death with a self-identy then the identity doesn't rest solely in the physical brain. Would that be valid?
Also why'd you ignore 3?

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
