He's not dead.
Comatose, non-responsive, vegetable? Probably.
But the hospotal isn't going to keep a rotting corpse for a month.

Disagree. They made a corpse deliver a baby against the family’s wishes. The people in charge are pure evil

Good, bad, fascist, whatever, doesn't matter, to a disagreement on nomenclature. A biologically functioning body with a working ATP cycle, isn't a corpse. Ethics and morality are irrelevant.

brain dead is considered dead.
no matter if cells still have atp.
it's a corpse.
there's no biological definition for human death. besides a vague "is it curable"
death used to be cardiac death, but we figured out how to save people who had cardiac death, so we move the goalpost to brain death.

It's literally not a corpse, it's a brain-dead person / body.
You started this debate with Steve by using sensationalizing language, and I'm here to provide definitions and lay this discussion to rest:

We can all agree that what they've done is horrible, there's no need to distort language to make a point.
A corpse can not carry a pregnancy, a brain-dead body apparently can if assisted.
I'll see myself out.

"Is brain death death" and "is a brain-dead person a corpse" are two different questions. The answer to the first is yes, the second is no. You can be dead, but until your body starts decomposing it's not a corpse.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.
