Yeah, I was trying to demonstrate ages ago that someone being pronounced "dead" always involves some level of judgement by the person making the announcement. (I'm not counting cases where someone is discovered having been rotting for months, or someone gets exploded into tiny pieces. I'm talking about calling it in cases where it's not ridiculously obvious to everyone.) I asked for an objective definition of "dead" and I got given "clinically dead", which now apparently means "measuring heart and brain function". I don't think I would call someone clinically dead because I measured their heart and brain function though :p As per my point, I have to make a decision. Are they dead, or not? And does dead mean "cannot come back to life"? If yes, people get it wrong. If no, there is no objective standard.
Erm... Yeah, I can't even remember why this was important. Something to do with NDE's and such.
This is my opinion, I should add. Feel free to enlighten me if I missed something.
