Understanding Death as a Process: When is the Self Lost?

Understanding Death as a Process: When is the Self Lost? - This review article deals with quantum biology, the new tool that enlightens profound questions in classical physiology and medicine. The paper is a response to the book “Erasing Death,” by a British physician and one of the leading experts in emergency medicine and the scientific study of death. His book explains what death looks like at the organ level; our review clearly states what death is at the quantum level. We define living organisms and distinguish non-living molecules from living atoms. We explain how non-living atoms become living molecules; we define life and death. We demonstrate the conditions upon which death occurs in the body and explain the two fundamental ways all living organisms die. Finally, we discuss the reversibility of the dying process.
