What do YOU consider “brain dead?”

As best I've ever been able to tell "brain dead" is a term used to rationalize killing someone:

"Brain Death" is Life, Not Death: Neurologists and Bioethicists Unanimous at Conference
 
"Brain Death" Test Causes Brain Necrosis and Kills Patients: Neurologist to Rome Conference
 
Deciding when life has come to an end, Medical board to review who can declare when brain dead
 
The Demise of "Brain Death"

I was asking for your personal opinion, not a bunch of links. How incapacitated would YOU personally have to be before YOU personally consider it “brain dead?”
