Question

Worldwide,death is determined when:A)  the person enters locked-in syndrome.B)  the kidneys shut down.C)  noticeable respiration ceases.D)  brain waves cease.

Jordan Vidal · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Brain waves cease is the most accurate determination of death as it indicates the irreversible loss of brain function, including the brain stem which controls involuntary functions such as breathing. Noticeable respiration may temporarily cease and be restarted, and kidney failure may occur due to a lack of oxygen, but these are not definitive indicators of death. Locked-in syndrome, where a person is conscious but unable to move or communicate, is a severe neurological condition but does not necessarily lead to death.
