Cells start to die at normal temperature after 6 or 7 minutes without any sort of stimulation and this can be irreversible. The reason why I brought up hypothermia is simply because it prolongs the life of the cells.
Yes. And while your point is valid. I too tried to convey that "death" is not defined by pulse I told him that death is the point where life can no longer be possible and that depends on cells and their ability to function. Huggy rejected this definition and insisted on a definition based purely on the present doctors opinion; which I pointed out was a definition of death that permitted life and was thereby an equivocation and has stripped meaning from the conversation...
...Now you should be all caught up.
