Answer to Question 1

Answer to Question 2

There are eight criteria for whole-brain death. They are (1) no spontaneous movement in response to stimuli; (2) no spontaneous respirations for at least one hour;
(3) total lack of responsiveness to even the most painful stimuli; (4) no eye movements, blinking, or pupil responses; (5) no posturing activity, swallowing, yawning, or vocalizing; (6) no motor reflexes; (7) a flat EEG for at least 10 minutes; and (8) no change in these criteria when they are tested again 24 hours later. For a person to be declared dead, all eight criteria must be met. That and other conditions that might look like or mimic death, such as hypothermia or drug overdose, must be ruled out. The whole-brain standard is used to define death in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.

Answer to Question 3

All cultures have their own views of death as well as their own unique grieving and mourning rituals. The Melanesian term mate describes not only those who are deceased but also those who are sick or old. Alternatively, their concept of toa represents all other living individuals. Other South Pacific cultures see the spirit as leaving the body during death, sleep, or illness. Therefore, the body in essence dies many times before one experiences a final death. In Ghana, a person is said to have had a good death if they've finished all their business and made peace with others. Furthermore, a good death takes place at home and is accepted by one's relatives. Overall, there are many cultural differences in the definitions of death.
