ARTICLES RELATED TO Death - Biological death | | | |  Death - Biological death: Encyclopedia II - Death - Biological deathDeath is the irreversable ending of life. Biologically, death can occur to wholes, to parts, or to both. For example, it is possible for individual cells and even organs to die, and yet for the organism as a whole to continue to live; many individual cells live for only a short time, and so most of an organism's cells are continually dying and being replaced by new ones.

| | | | Death - Biological death: Encyclopedia II - Death - Criteria of human death
Human death can be defined by three intrinsically different but overlapping domains: biological, legal, and religious. These different domains and their importance have evolved over time, and opinions vary from person to person.
There are various ways of defining biological death. Early in Western culture, death was first associated with cessation of the heart, and then later the lungs. When these stopped working, a person was considered dead. It was only later that attention shifted to the brain. One test for brain activity was to po ...

| | | | Death - Biological death: Encyclopedia II - Death - Consciousness after death Belief in consciousness after death (e.g. afterlife, underworld, reincarnation, heaven, hell) is common and ancient. This point of view holds conciousness to be more than simply one of the things that brains do.
The belief that any and all consciousness ceases to exist at death, and that death itself is ultimately the exact same experience as prior to conception, is also common and ancient. This point of view is that talking of conciousness after death is like talk ...

| | | | Death - Biological death: Encyclopedia II - Life - Origin of life Main article: Origin of life
There is no truly "standard" model of the origin of life, but most currently accepted scientific models build in one way or another on the following discoveries, which are listed roughly in order of postulated emergence:
Plausible pre-biotic conditions result in the creation of the basic small molecules of life. This was demonstrated in the Urey-Miller experiment.
Phospholipids spontaneously form lipid bilayers, the basic structure of a cell membrane.
Procedures for producing random RNA molecules can produce ribozymes, which are able to produce more of themselves ...

The question of whether life exists elsewhere in the universe remains open, but analyses such as the Drake equation have been used to estimate the probability of such life existing. There have been a number of claims of the discovery of life elsewhere in the u ...
