Another example is that the brain can be fully functioning and cogent – whilst the body it occupies is either clinically or biologically “dead” (sometimes “both”). In this situation, the body is usually kept alive – through mechanical – means that are “withdrawn” at some point due to the “expense” of its maintaining by the healthcare provider.
