Well, we don't really know that for sure. This goes beyond the scope of science, hence it's more of a philosophy. Her vital status is open to opinion and scrutiny under other tools like religion and faith i.e. what is the abstract definition of death. However, I would be so certain to say braindead=death. If I showed you the EEG readings (brain waves) for someone showing learning through negative event-related potentials, you and the entire medical society wouldn't have a clue what was going on (currently noone has any idea why it occurs or how to explain it). It's an instance where the brain potential shoots up in a split frame that is equal to no activation of learning or activity, but then spikes back to normal excitation. Sorta, like the brain is dead for a split second w/o activity. Hence, there are too many variables to this and really too many unknowns. The degree of physical life form is key in this situation. I'm just giving you some pointers Pete. Anyways, how's school going man? One more month for us!
In regards to the site, I can see it in a humorous light, but it really isn't anything to joke about. However, as the old saying goes, 'to each his own.'
