Brain death
Main article: Brain death
One of the scenarios in which legal death is usually pronounced is when a person is considered brain dead. Brain death is sometimes described as a form of irreversible coma, however it is not a coma - the term "coma" is correctly only used of a temporary unconsciousness in which brain-stem functions are not irreversibly impaired. Brain death is an irreversible unconscious state, in which the integrating functions of the brain to support life, including breathing and consciousness, which are dependent on brain-stem functioning, have irreversibly ceased to operate. It is not the case that a patient is diagnosed as brain dead when there is no detectable brain activity - considerable activity can continue, and be detectable in brain dead patients, as individual cells continue to function, but they are no longer functioning in an integrated or co-ordinated manner, and no consciousness persists. In the United Kingdom this has led to the adoption of "brain-stem death" as the criterion for brain death (as without a functioning brain-stem there can be no consciousness, even if the cortex is undamaged and activity is present), and this test is now effectively the one used worldwide, although legislation in the US and other territories does not always reflect this. Statutes in some US states call for whole brain cessation of function, which is more than necessary for certainty that the patient is not conscious and cannot ever recover consciousness, and is not actually testable except by removal of all life support for several hours to ensure the entire brain is dead - which would also preclude organ donation. In the United States, brain death is legal in every state. Brain death is not the same as a vegetative state, but the two are often confused. A vegetative state is when a person has severe brain damage to the upper brain or Cortex, but their brain stem continues to function, so that the integrating functions of the brain that maintain breathing and heart function, and regulate sleep cycles and pain responses, continue. So unlike brain dead patients, they can seem to be awake, have their eyes open and respond to direct pain stimulus. Yet they are not aware of anything, or capable of thought as persons. Many families of PVS patients will argue that their loved one moves, or is responding to them. It is common for younger patients to be able to live a very long time in a vegetative state, and if kept alive by artificial means, “these patients typically die of pneumonia, urinary tract infections, or sepsis related to skin breakdown.” Well known younger patients who were diagnosed as PVS are Terri Schiavo, Nancy Cruzan, and Karen Ann Quinlan. All three of these women were in a vegetative state and never regained consciousness. In each case, loved ones of the patients went to court in order for their family member to be allowed to die without being kept alive by artificial nutrition. These cases are related to the controversial right to die.

With time the definition of legal death has been reexamined and altered as our technology advances. The definition of death used to include only cessation of heart and lungs but now after further development it has been altered so that it can include permanent and irreversible brain failure. By June 1987, 39 states had also adopted this law into action to include brain death. Changing the definition will always bring up new ethical concerns; especially when it involves organ transplants.

ALIVE

it is a very awsome mod! (stares at blank screen)

dead

DEAD

this thing is DEAD..

Dont get the europeinruins mod people it is just a copy of a other mod and they steal your money!

If you use europeinruins website DONT use the same pass as your paypal pass!

well, the mod is very solid for a public beta, the only thing stopping it from getting off the ground (same with other mods) is their is no custom model importer. but so far it is a joy to play. the radio men add a real strategic bonus to the game, and basically builds outstanding game play off an already amazing game. thats your review summed up in 60 words. now of course, this mod is worth 1000 words for one thing, but its too addictive, must get back to playing it!
