Living or Dead

This week I want you to take a few moments to think about a real life scenerio.  Let's pretend that someone you know is involved in a car crash and is hurt really bad.  You hear that they have damage to their brain, in fact you hear that they are "Brain Dead".  Based on our definition of life and the seven processes, is that person still living?  Explain your thoughts!
