Message to a foolish Kiwi atheist who mistakenly thinks he died.because some parademic allegedly told him he died. Where is the death certificate? Did your ex-wife collect on a life insurance policy?
'''Death''' is the cessation of biological functions. The nature of death is a matter of debate since most [[religions]] have different views on death; however, many involve the concept of the [[soul]] and [[spirit]].

The journal article ''Definitions of death: brain death and what matters in a person'' published in the ''Journal of Law and Biosciences'' states:
{{Cquote|The Commission ultimately recommended a Uniform Determination of Death Act (UDDA) which aimed to make the total brain standard into law in the states. This recommendation has been adopted by the American Bar Association and American Medical Association, and made into law in some form in all 50 states. The UDDA simply states: ’An individual who has sustained either (1) irreversible cessation of circulatory and respiratory functions, or (2) irreversible cessation of all functions of the entire brain, including the brain stem, is dead. A determination of death must be made in accordance with accepted medical standards’. This standard, through (1), incorporates the traditional cardiopulmonary test into the modern definition of death. It is (2) which serves as the ‘sufficient’ definition of death which can address more complex cases. Incorporating the cardiopulmonary test thus allows the traditional medical standards to continue to operate, so that doctors need not do an EEG before issuing a death certificate in every individual case.<ref>[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5570697/#:~:text=The%20UDDA%20simply%20states%3A%20'An,the%20brain%20stem%2C%20is%20dead.

The concept of the [[afterlife]] is the most common throughout many religions and many individuals have reported heavenly experiences in near death experiences.<ref>[http://bibleprobe.com/nde.htm True Near Death Experiences (bibleprobe.com)]</ref> The most common view of death throughout many religions is the [[soul]] - a version of the deceased which continues to exist in some form after death.
