There is a controversy about when life "starts". Some say it starts at conception and others believe it begins at birth. If I remember correctly I already mentioned my beliefs about that but this post is about the other controversy... death.
One of my brothers is having problems with either dementia or Alzheimer's and it's getting pretty bad. In the medical world the body can be fine but if there is no brain activity then they say the person is "brain dead". What if there is brain activity yet that activity is diminished compared to the past? If my brother's body survives past his mind and he doesn't recognize any of us then is "he" still alive? I know he's "alive" but if his personality is gone and everyday is being rewritten I don't know what to do.
Yes, I do. I love him and deal with it.
