You're dead when your bain is dead.

You are dead when your spirit leaves your body...

By definition, yes. But I wasn’t addressing the definition of death I was addressing Zuriel’s implicit contention that brain death is not a reliable metric for death. It is reliable, and the reason it is reliable is because we can measure brain waves. The person with no brain waves is dead. You can pull the plug in good conscience.
