Every state in the U.S. recognizes death by neurological criteria, i.e. irreversible cessation of all functions of the entire brain, including the brainstem. So no, not everybody dies of a cardiac arrest. #MedTwitter

I try to stay current on the #SCOTUS arguments and opinions, but sometimes get lost in the legal jargon It’s refreshing to hear the court swap out legal language for epitopes, antibodies, and high-throughput assays. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/u-s…

How does one experience death when experience is incompatible with death? You cannot experience the lack of experience. "Why should I fear death? If I am, then death is not. If Death is, then I am not. Why should I fear that which can only exist when I do not?" -Epicurus
