Dear sweet fang Apostate, Zombies have indeed returned from death as have ghosts/spirits/energies and those people in Flatliners. Bless your gentle voodoo soul.

Death does not equal clinical death
This argument is a variation on (1) and it may be discounted in a similar manner. It is obvious that death is irreversible and ends with the total decay of the corpse, but this is simply irrelevant for the question considered here. As far as we know, there are no relevant physiological differences (in this context) between death and the functional cessation of cortical brain activity.

This is an interesting question. How can it be that one minute a person can be considered "alive" and the next "dead"?
I guess the answer to your question is that biologically the body is worn out or something has happened to it that can't be fixed. Still, it makes you wonder.
Good question. Wish I had a good answer.

Because brain cells die after six minutes w/o oxygen. Once the cells die, the machinery stops working and it ain't no chevy you can just go out and jump start

Because the body has ceased to function. If death was
reversable, we would have zombies.

It didn't have to be. It could have been done differently, but it was done this way to let us know that we have limits and that we are not in charge around here.

That's only half of it...
Because you are not now dead, death is not eternal.
What are you doing with your life?
