He almost died. It was near-death. Even he said so. But that wasn't good enough for NBC News. They had to say he "briefly died."
He didn't. You don't come back from death.
You don’t come back from death? Oh yeah?! Then explain Pokémon The First Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back!
Mew and Mewtwo are fighting and Ash jumps in between them because he doesn’t want them to fight. They kill him and bro falls to the ground and turns to stone. Then Pikachu tries to wake him up with slaps and thunder shocks, but fails to wake him up as Pikachu breaks out into tears. All the other Pokémon witnessing this start crying over Ash’s courageous sacrifice and Pikachu’s loss, that their tears fly away or whatever, and those tears flow into Ash’s body. He then turns back to flesh and he’s like, “Yo I’m alive and that hurt, but I’m alright.”
As an official Old™, you lost me at Pokemon.
How dare you
I’m old and I fucking love Pokémon
I will always love Pokémon
I will be buried with a Raichu
Hey, my wife is way into YA books. You do you, friend. It all confuses me.
The movie is 27yrs old. Even if you were 70, you'd have been middle aged when it released.
Which movie, Pokemon? I was in my 20s and not really interested in kids movies.
Ha, I’m also a member of the official Old myself! Pokémon was my childhood when it came out 30 years ago, so I’m a more junior member than you
Same thing happened to me once tbh. It can happen.
It's a children cartoon movie
Very good, sir. This explanation seems air tight to me.
haha , tihs made me laugh
If you've seen Narcan work, you'd change your mind.
And, very rarely, hospital trauma patients have been brought back from what's defined as death, to life. But the timing, the on-hand staff and equipment has to be varied, be many, and be relevant. And also a lotta luck.
Defined as death by whom? What are their criteria for this definition?
If your whole body goes through a chipper, is there a moment where all or most of your cells are still alive?
Are you defining death as 'none of your cells are alive?'
I suppose some people would consider Henrietta Lacks to be alive, but I wouldn't.
Otherwise, I don't understand the point of your question. It's neither a definition nor a list of criteria. But I would not be surprised if some human cells lived for a while after going through a wood chipper.
