Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1CT
A person is declared to be dead upon the irreversible ceasing of spontaneous body functions: brain activity, or blood circulation and respiration. However, only about 1% of a person’s cells have to die in order for all of these things to happen. How can someone be dead when 99% of his or her cells are still alive?
