Death

• Thesis Text:
  1. Death is important to our study because we’re considering our persistence conditions², whether we consider ourselves to be
     1. Human Persons³.
     2. Human Animals⁴ (members of the species homo sapiens⁵), or
     3. Human Beings⁶
     and death would seem to be the terminus of such existence⁷.
  2. That this is so has often been resisted, which is why we must consider such matters as:-
     1. Resurrection⁸,
     2. Reincarnation⁹, and
     3. Disembodied Existence¹⁰.
        
  3. Death should be considered a biological event, or maybe – better – a process¹¹. It is the termination of life¹², which is also a biological process, though usually a longer one.
  4. Other forms of – and terminations of – existence¹³ may be termed “life” or “death”, but these are metaphorical expressions used by analogy with biological life or death. So, is the resurrection¹⁴ life – if there is one – really “life” or a continued and enhanced form of existence¹⁵? Also, is the “second death” really “death”? I suppose we would allow alternative metabolisms to count as “life¹⁶”, so that an Android¹⁷ that maintained itself might be said to be “alive”; and, consequently, the destruction of such a being might be classified as “death”.
  5. A particular case of the above is Brain Death¹⁸. It’s a large question for Animalists¹⁹ – and for holders of the Psychological View²⁰ – whether Brain²¹ Death is really death, or whether it is (for holders of the PV²²) the death (or end) of the Person²³.
  6. As a spin-off from the (alleged) Corpse Problem²⁴ for animalism²⁵, we need to discuss the process²⁶ of dying – the transition from life²⁷ to death. Just when does death occur (for human animals²⁸)? No doubt there is a degree of vagueness²⁹ here (though ascribing ‘vagueness’ to such a ‘terminal’ event as death seems counter-intuitive).
     → See "Shoemaker (David) - Personal Identity, Rational Anticipation, and Self-Concern", p. 81 for this objection to animalism³⁰.
  7. Consideration of whether we should fear death, or the process³¹ of dying, is probably beyond the bounds of this Thesis. However, for a comforting account of the normal process of dying in old age, see this “short” from the BBC: BBC: Dying is not as bad as you think. The author – a medical doctor (Kathryn Mannix – see With the End In Mind) – talks about the “good death” and the process of dying in your bed being not so scary. The dying drift in and out of consciousness³², and return from unconsciousness feeling much as after a refreshing sleep, so we know the coma doesn’t feel frightening and isn’t noticed when it happens. The “death rattle” shows just how relaxed you were. Normal dying is a really gentle process.
  8. Would that were the way for all, rather than as the result of a rather painful trauma₃₃ when you’re not ready to go.

In-Page Footnotes:

Footnote 33:

1. Consider Wikipedia: Ray Wilkins & Wikipedia: Eric Bristow dying of cardiac arrest “before their time”, plus loads of young blacks (and those mistaken for being young blacks) dying from puncture wounds.

Footnote 36:

• This is probably the best place to start, though it spends a lot of time discussing the problem of personal identity.

Footnote 37:

• Was this book ever published?
• This paper probably ought to be in the note on Brain Transplants.

Footnote 42:

• While it looks like this paper should be studied under the head of Brain Death, and it could be, it really deals with the definition of “death”, so is best covered here.

Footnotes 43, 45:

• One of the two main books on this topic.

Footnote 44:

• The following four Chapters (8-11) of "Valberg (J.J.) - Dream, Death, and the Self" may also be worth studying.
