"Declared Clinically Dead"

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Additionally, I've never got a good explanation of why an NDE is so often touted as proof of an afterlife.  It's called a near death experience for a reason:  you aren't dead.  If you haven't died, how the hell can you claim to have seen the afterlife?

If people actually died during these episodes, they'd be called 'death experiences'.  Funny how nobody who has actually had a death experience has come back to tell us what it's like.  Know why?  BECAUSE THEY'RE FUCKING DEAD!!

Lol this reminded me of George Carlin so much.

Specifically this quote:

[...]you know where the sanctity of life came from? We made it up! You know why? Cause we're alive! Self-interest. Living people have a strong interest in promoting the idea that somehow life is sacred. You don't see Abbott and Costello running around, talking about this shit, do you? We're not hearing a whole lot from Mussolini on the subject. What's the latest from JFK? Not a god damned thing, cause JFK, Mussolini, and Abbott and Costello are fucking dead. They're fucking dead, and dead people give less than a shit about the sanctity of life. Only living people care about it, so the whole thing grows out of a completely biased point of view. It's a self-serving, man-made bullshit story. It's one of these things we tell ourselves so we'll feel noble. Life is sacred, makes you feel noble.

No, it's an event.

I'd say it's a state. A permanent state of not being alive anymore.

'Death' is the event. 'Dead' is the state.

Isn't 'Death' both an event and a state?

Death=both the event of dying and the state of deadness?

Also ain't it also some dude with a scythe as well?

Aha! I knew it:

the action or fact of dying or being killed; the end of the life of a person or organism.
"he had been depressed since the death of his father"

Indeed an event, but also indeed a state:

the state of being dead.
"even in death, she was beautiful"

And yet we don't say, 'She's been death for 20 years' or 'Time of dead, 12:44 PM'.

Prick your finger (NO!  NOT that way!!)

If the blood runs freely and red, you're alive.

You're welcome.
