Death is defined as the termination of all biological functions that sustain a living organism.
Brain death, the complete and irreversible loss of brain function (including involuntary activity necessary to sustain life) as defined in the 1968 report of the Ad Hoc Committee of the Harvard Medical School, is the legal definition of human death in most countries around the world.
Either directly through trauma, or indirectly through secondary disease indications, brain death is the final pathological state that over 60 million people globally transfer through each year.
We are repeatedly told through the medical establishment that brain death is “irreversible” and should be considered the end of the line.
Or is it?
Have we come to a technological point where we are able to “push the envelope” to see if this is truly the case?
While it is true that human beings lack substantial regenerative capabilities in the central nervous system, many non-human species, such as amphibians, planarians, and certain fish, can repair, regenerate, and remodel substantial portions of their brain and brain stem even after critical life-threatening trauma.
