Democrats will of course seize on this news to justify their people voting after they die.

“See? They’re still alive! They’re just metabolically challenged!”

Makes sense. Just because the overall organism shuts down doesn’t mean that the systems of the whole organism stop working immediately.

I have heard that Morticians talk to the bodies as they embalm them because the hearing is still believed to be intact for a while.

Must be grant application season. I guess none of these overpaid geniuses have ever beat a snakes head to a bloody pulp and watched dead snake wriggle and jerk until it stops...or maybe aborted fetuses.

I had a Buddhist monk once tell me that death occurs in stages, of up to 7 days.

I knew a girl who was in training to be a cosmetician / hairdresser for a mortician. Her first day, as a cadaver was rolled past on a stretcher, it sat up and burped. The girl screamed, but the funeral director said the corpses burp and fart all the time, nothing to worry about.
He told her that if one ever says, “Excuse me,” then the cadaver’s relatives would probably want their money back.
