brain dead is considered dead.
no matter if cells still have atp.
it’s a corpse.
there’s no biological definition for human death. besides a vague “is it curable”
death used to be cardiac death, but we figured out how to save people who had cardiac death, so we move the goalpost to brain death.

If brain dead is dead bacteria are dead.
A brain dead body isn’t a person, but that doesn’t make it a corpse. All the biological functions continue. The ATP cycle continues. The body takes in nutrients and uses them to maintain their nirmal biological functions. Corpses don’t do that.
