x | I can tell you for a fact that they don't do brain scans every time they declare a time of death ...... even once they "pull the plug" and there is no brain activity your body goes on living longer ... I just don't remember how long it is .... that's why I ask Og ... he is usually a well spring of information on anything brain related information ... I think scientists are rethinking the whole time of death thing .....
like I said I don't remember where I read it or just what but I know something recently went thru my brain about the whole time of death issue ... some kind of scientific study ... damn I'm getting old ... I just don't recall things like I used to ..
