ARTICLES RELATED TO Death - When is a person dead? |  |  |  | Death - When is a person dead?: Encyclopedia II - Death - When is a person dead?There is an asymmetry between life and death. While cells and organisms may die, they have never been observed to arise from non-living material (spontaneous generation), as found by Louis Pasteur in the late 19th century. In human affairs, we are normally concerned with the life and death of a person, not his or her parts.

 |  |  | Death - When is a person dead?: Encyclopedia II - Death - Criteria of human death: medical religious and legalHuman death can be defined by three intrinsically different but overlapping domains: medical, religious, and legal. These different domains and their importance have evolved over time, and opinions vary from person to person. So when talking about death, it is important to specify which domain we are referring to, and to have a general understanding of how each defines death.

 |  |  | Death - When is a person dead?: Encyclopedia II - Death - Interpretations of deathIn almost all societies, death has one or several symbols associated with it. Common symbols of death in Western cultures include the grim reaper and the color black; conversely, in certain Eastern cultures, the color white is considered symbolic of death. The grave is a metonym for death.
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 (except for nerve and muscle) are ...

 |  |  | Death - When is a person dead?: Encyclopedia II - Death - Unwritten customs and superstitionsSince writing someone's name with a range of years, such as John Doe (1950 - 2000), implies that the subject has died, it would be a faux pas to do this on someone's birthday cake or card. This is unlike an anniversary of something.
In China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, thus possibly all Oriental countries, the number 4 is often associated to death due to the sound of the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean words for four and death being similar. For this reason, hospitals and hotels often omit the 4th, 14th, etc. floors. However, ISO ...

Death is also a mythological figure who has existed in popular culture since the earliest days of storytelling. The traditional Western image of Death, known as the Grim Reaper—usually resembling a skeleton, wearing black robes and carrying a scythe—is employed on a tarot card and in various television shows and films. Some examples:
Death is a major character in the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett.

 |  |  | Death - When is a person dead?: Encyclopedia II - Death - What happens to humans after death?The second question is of what, apart from the cessation of metabolism and the onset of physiological processes of decay, happens, especially to humans, during and after death (or "once dead", thinking of death as a permanent state). In particular, there is the question of what becomes of consciousness or the soul. Such questions are of long standing, and belief in an afterlife (such as an underworld), or in reincarnation, are common and ancient. The belief that any and all consciousness ceases to exist at death, and that death ("after-life" ...

Death - When death is imminent.
Physical death is a progressive process, during which there are some signs that usually indicate that death is imminent. Not all of the following changes occur, nor do they necessarily occur in any particular order, as the body shuts down during the dying process. In general, the following information may help anticipate and understand changes that appear as an individual approaches death and is “actively dying.”
The dying individual may become increasingly tired a ...

 |  |  | Death - When is a person dead?: Encyclopedia - Burial aliveBurial alive is when a person or animal is temporarily or permanently interred in a manner resembling burial (e.g. in a coffin underground, under rubble or in a cave) whilst still living. This may be deliberate, as punishment, execution, or torture, or by accident, in the wake of a disaster, or due to clinical error and a belief the person is in fact dead.
The human body metabolism slows considerably in some environments, which may assist survival. But in general, burial alive if not reversed leads to death, usually through a combination of asphyxiation, dehyd ...

 |  |  | Death - When is a person dead?: Encyclopedia II - Jewish bereavement - Death and dyingEverything that Jews do regarding death is for one of two reasons: respect for the dead (kavod ha-met) or to console those left behind (nihum avelim).
Jewish bereavement - Death bed.
By Jewish law, Jews are forbidden to do anything to hasten a person's death but, are at the same time required to do anything possible to comfort the dying. So the spectrum of what can-and-cannot be done for a person on their deathbed goes to both extremes. There are some who will not touch a dying person for fear that something so mild might bring about their demise.

 |  |  | Death - When is a person dead?: Encyclopedia II - Jewish bereavement - BurialThe Torah requires burial, even for executed criminals (Deut. 21:23).
Jews are buried in caskets that aren't hermetically sealed. Man was created from dust, and when he dies his body is supposed to return to the dust (Gen. 3:19).
Jacob and Joseph were embalmed, but that was before the Torah was given.
Unclaimed dead require respectful burial (see Burial in Jew. Encyc. iii. 432b: "met miẓwah").

 |  |  | Death - When is a person dead?: Encyclopedia II - Jewish bereavement - Funeral serviceObservant Jews do not have "open casket" services.
Typically, when the funeral service has ended the mourners, starting with the immediate family, come forward to fill the grave. Philosophically, this gives the mourners closure. One custom is for each mourner in turn to take a spade or shovel, held with the "scoop" pointing down instead of up, to show the antithesis of death to life and that this use of the shovel is different to all other uses, to throw three shovelfuls of dirt into the grave. When a mourner is finished, they put the ...

Jewish bereavement - Yahrzeit.
Yahrzeit or Yohr Tzeit, יארצייט, means "Time (of) Year" in Yiddish. The word is also used by non-Yiddish-speaking Ashkenazi Jews, and refers to the annual anniversary of the day of death of a relative. Yahrzeit comes from the German word Jahreszeit (meaning "time of year"). The commemoration is known in Ladino as nohala. It is widely observed, and based on the Jewish tradition that mourners are required to commemorate the death of a relative ...
