Birth/Life/Death

[bob5695]

What do you think happens after we die?

the same that happened before we were born. (non-existence)

If you define no brain function and no heart function as dead... then a fetus is clearly alive because it has both.

So up to now the consensus would indicate nothing happens after death, no heaven with angels, god sitting on his throne, no hell with pitchforks and fire the devil being some red guy throwing you into eternal damnation.

Looks like we have only got the here and now so best make of it what we can.
Just time to d/load a movie and order a takeaway because theres no point worrying.

well, I was tried to ask a dead man once about those kind of stuff...
he's not saying anything...maybe he's just too shy since he's dead, I'll try to ask another one if have the chances again

There is certainly something for us after we die. Since I've been accused of writing posts that fit the "tl;dr" category, I won't go into exactly what I think. But let's say no one knew for sure, why not have a pleasant thought that when you die good things happen? If you just die, then you won't know about it anyway, so while you're living, keep a good thought in your head instead of thinking, oh when we die that's it, lights out.

If you think of immediate family members like Mum or Dad, daughter, son, brother, sister it hurts like hell. You only live on in others hearts and memories.

Will do.

We have not yet defined what it means to be alive so how do you define what is means to be dead.

A fetus in the stomach of a woman is defined as not being alive (well some people do believe they are alive). It can hear sound it can response to things that happen around it... but people define it as not being alive? What is being alive? Just because when it gets older it can't remember that stage of its life? What about people who alsheimer? They can no longer remember what is going on so are they no longer alive? At what point is a computer program going to be considered alive?

Awesome

the same that happened before we were born. (non-existence)

Wohooo! yeah!

I guess by that definition being alive is as long as your brain can retain and learn new information... but does that make a computer program alive?
