Many western scientists tried to locate the seat of
Life. Some proposed the heart to be the seat of Life.
Just because the heart stopped beating, you can not say
that the person is dead. There are many cases in
medical history that people revived to life after some
hours of stopping of the heart. Some medical experts
theorised that a body will not revive after it's brain
ceases to emit the electrical signals. Even this theory
could not stand the test of truth. Modern medicine
knows that the first organ to decompose in a dead body
is the private organ. There is not single case in the
medical history that a person revived after the private
organ started decomposing. Chandogya Upanisad says
(VI.5.4):
" Water when drunk becomes three fold; it's coarsest
portion becomes the urine; it's middle portion the
blood, and it's subtlest portion Praana."
The definition of Prana is 'that which continues or
sustains life'. It is the same organ which 'creates'
life.
