I mean I've never died before but I can tell you I won't be coming back Not necessarily. People are resuscitated from death all of the time.

You don't need to drive a Porsche to know it goes fast. So yeah with the tools we have to discover info on any topic we like I'd think that saying is baloney.

Deny. You can get a better understanding of it by experiencing it but it's not necessary.

Sort of. You certainly have more immediate knowledge if it's hands-on. Reading about landing a plane, or driving a Porsche, isn't the same as doing it. Reading about rebuilding an engine, or dancing ballet, isn't the same as doing it. Reading about video games isn't the same as playing them.

Depends on the thing. However, some things are so personalized that even if you experience it, you're not going to get the same experience as others. There are always going to be a lot of variables. Two people can be put into the exact same situation and, because of how they view it and handle it, have vastly different outcomes.

Depends on the experience in question. Some things are pretty much impossible to understand without personally experiencing them. Some things, you can get a good sense of just by thinking about them. Some things, you actually stand a better chance of understanding if you aren't experiencing them, since the distance helps you to consider them more objectively. Making a blanket statement would be stupid.

Anyone without a heartbeat is considered clinically dead, but can still be resuscitated. It's not until that cardiac arrest is determined to be irreversible and/or irreversible cessation of brain function occurs that they're considered medically dead. That one, you don't come back from. ... Copied to Clipboard!

As you pointed out the only real death is when the brain dies and as far as I know nobody has come back from that. --- One who knows nothing can understand nothing. http://psnprofiles.com/wwinterj - https://imgur.com/kDysIcd ...

Medically dead is the one that counts. Again you don't come back from death. Only if "one that counts" means "the one you can't come back from," which is pretty circular logic. Prior to the development of CPR and other resuscitation methods, cardiac arrest was the primary criterion for death. The concept of "medical death" came about to indicate the difference there, but it's still perfectly reasonable to consider clinical death to be death. ... Copied to Clipboard!
