According to Webster's definition, death
is "a permanent cessation of all vital functions; the
end of life: the cause or occasion of loss of life;
the state of being dead."
Although civil and legal
institutions do not agree on exactly when life ends,
most people are able to recognize a corpse without
referring to a dictionary.
The real mystery lies
in the process of dying, and what interaction with
the outside world causes a live person to become a
dead one.
Often considered a taboo subject,
death
is, after all, a normal process in which everyone
participates.
