just because we identify brain death happening minutes after observed death doesn’t mean the brain completely ceases to function. it could be operating at such a low rate that it’s unobservable with current medical technology.
there are plenty of documented cases of people who were functionally brain dead that were revived well past the point of return and had vivid descriptions of what was happening around them.
hell one woman was frozen, FROZEN, heart stopped, brain stopped, no blood flow, no oxygen. they were thawing her for an autopsy and her vitals came back.
all I’m saying is when your loved one has died, we know hearing is one of the last things to go. so take the opportunity to make them feel loved and give yourself a sense of closure. what does it hurt?
Yeah that’s fine, but it seems more like something you do for yourself, not the dead person. I still don’t know why you think hearing lasts after death, but I’m pretty sure that a brain dead person can’t hear. And if you freeze a body so it’s in stasis, it can’t hear anything. Even if it’s thawed out and revived later, it won’t have processed any audible input when it was non functioning. But we simply can’t know the conscious experience of a dying person, so you are of course free to believe whatever you’d like.

Nah, I imagine that if you are totally out of it and gone within moments of sleep, death would be worse. Your ears do your own thing.

agree to disagree.
