The real question is how do you know if you are dead.

I had an out of body experience.  I floated above my body and watched my friends try to wake me up.  They were yelling at me to breathe and I was alright after a short time.  When I came down, I realized what a low existence we live in.  Reality is a very low existence.  It's hard to put in words.....)(

If a doctor or court were to sign a death certificate declaring you legally dead, and subsequently you came back to life, then you would have an argument that you had served your sentence completely.\n\nWhether such an argument would actually hold up in a court is arguable, because your revival would be in the same body with the same mind, fingerprints, memories, predispositions, etc. \n\nBut, it's an interesting question. \n\nHowever, if you only were medically dead for a very short time, and no death certificate was yet signed, then you would not have legally died, therefore you would not have served your entire sentence.

I have seen people brought back to life that previously did not have a pulse or breathing. So I don't think the previous answers are accurate. \n\n To answer your quesiton sometimes I have seen the exact opposite I think they go too far trying to save people.  I have seen people in comas. I have also taken care of people who had strokes(that were revived) that would have preferred to die.

I would have taken out as many of tem until they killed me.  I die and live by my code and no others.\n\nCoach

My fiance and I were on our way to Reno to get married....Our best friends were in the car with us...\nWe got into a head on collision, and my fiance died 3 days later in the hospital.  So, looking back on it, when I seen him in the vehicle gasping for air after the wreck, I was actually watching him die..........\nGod Rest his soul! ! ! ! \nI hope you never have to witness anything like that in your lifetime.....\nGoodaytoyou !

after about 4-5 minutes your brain starts to die, you heart will probably stop soon after that. Less then 10 minutes and you're pretty much dead

No. Very strange if this actually happened to you.

Are you seriously expecting that there are people here in Yahoo Answers (or here on Planet Earth for that matter) who KNOW what happens after death? No one knows what happens after you die. People who pretend to know are either charlatans or fools.

what if you???  had a heart attack mid-sentence?\n\nthen I guess we'd all be sitting here wondering what was on you mind when you died

"How would you feel if I died today..."?\n\nAnswer:\n\nOld.  Suddenly, much older than I thought I felt.

yes! A REALISTIC HONEST PERSON ON THIS GD DAMND SITE! my aunt died a few years ago and was dead for a while. she came back and said she saw nothing as well. but ask anyone else in my family, and she saw a miraculous light with angels reaching out to her. i guess the fact THAT YOU WERE BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE isn't a big enough "miracle." now you have to lie!

Based on my beliefs of yesterday, and the fact that I'm sitting here typing this, yes, tomorrow did come, manifest as today.  \n\nThere are people all over the world who died yesterday though.  For them, they will never experience another tomorrow, at least not as we know them in this life.  \n\nOn the other hand, as all we really have is this moment, and time is an illusion, tomorrow is also an illusion.  \n\nGreat question!

I have no idea. I think you should try it and find out. If you don't die then report back and tell everyone what happened.

interesting question. I'm not sure I think it would depend on how you die. If it was something that would affect your brain like spine injury or stroke probly not but maybe if you have a heart attack your brain can still process for a few seconds while it still has blood that your heart stopped and you are dying. I do know that the brain can still work when cut off from the body (for a few seconds.) When they decapitated people they told them to blink until they couldn't anymore and the people would blink for almost 30 seconds after the head was cut off until they bleed to death. Kinda scary...
