Subject: The true "death" of the brain and life support machines...

Hello all

My stepdad poses this question:


"If people's bodies are still functioning when they are on life support 
(breathing, heartbeat) but their brain activity is nil, is turning them off 
"murder" when you consider that they have no brain activity?"

I think what he is getting at is  their brains are beyond repair

Toby
