A person is declared to be dead upon the irreversible cessation of spontaneous body functions: brain activity, or blood circulation and respiration. However, only about 1 of a person's cells have to die in order for all of these things to happen. How can someone be dead when 99 of his or her cells are still alive?

Answer to Question 1

A person can be considered dead with only a small fraction of their cells being dead, as those cells are responsible for coordinating the action of all the other cells, and for ultimately maintaining the homeostasis of the organism as a whole.

True
