Comment on He was no friend to the middle class
Err0r_@lemmy.world 1 hour agoIt’s literally not a corpse, it’s a brain-dead person / body.
You started this debate with Steve by using sensationalizing language, and I’m here to provide definitions and lay this discussion to rest:

We can all agree that what they’ve done is horrible, there’s no need to distort language to make a point.
A corpse can not carry a pregnancy, a brain-dead body apparently can if assisted.
I’ll see myself out.

“Is brain death death” and “is a brain-dead person a corpse” are two different questions. The answer to the first is yes, the second is no. You can be dead, but until your body starts decomposing it’s not a corpse.
