It means to cease operation:  my car can die; my jokes can die; my body can die; the sunset can die.  If you what a philosophical or religious definition, ask again in those categories.\n-MM

I fully beleive that if someone wants to die, they should be able to do it. The governemnt's not going to stop me if I really want to commit suicide. Pain should be able to be stopped -- one way or another. Death is as good a way as others. \nBy the way...I really wish doctors actually did no harm.

Who's to say what happens when we die?  I mean, I haven't seen anyone come back from the dead and say, hey, this is what it's like.  I'd just say to live your life according to your personal morals and values.  Believe in yourself and your values.  And let those holier than mere mortals judge you.  No person, and certainly no one online, is so omnipresent to have a right to judge you.  Good luck!

your life.\n\nJesus said "If you find your life you will lose it, but if you lose your life for my sakke, you will find it."\n\nPaul also often talks about "dying daily." In other words we are to crucify our flesh and it's sinful nature and become more like Christ.

Death is the cessation of physical life.\n\nHistorically, attempts to define the exact moment of death have been problematic. Death was once defined as the cessation of heartbeat (cardiac arrest) and of breathing, but the development of CPR and prompt defibrillation posed a challenge, rendering the previous definition inadequate. This earlier definition of death is now called "clinical death", and even after it occurs, breathing and heartbeat may be restarted in some cases. Events which were causally linked to death in the past are now prevented from having an effect; even without a functioning heart and lungs, a person can be sustained with life-support devices. In addition to such extremes, there is a growing number of people who would quickly die if their organ transplants or cardiac pacemakers failed.\n\nToday, where a definition of the moment of death is required, doctors and coroners usually turn to "brain death" or "biological death": people are considered dead when the electrical activity in their brain ceases (cf. persistent vegetative state). It is presumed that a stoppage of electrical activity indicates the end of consciousness. However, suspension of consciousness must be permanent, and not transient, as occurs during sleep, and especially a coma. In the case of sleep, EEGs can easily tell the difference. Identifying the moment of death is important in cases of transplantation, as organs for transplant (the brain excluded) must be harvested as quickly as possible after the death of the body.\n\nMore: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death

Are you back?  \n\nSin is a creation of man.  Death is a misunderstood phenomenon commonly believed to be unavoidable.  \n\nChrist was just a guy.\n\nWe are all god.

Your life is over when you die. That's it. And until the moment of your death you are alive and can make decisions.

Death only pertains to our physical incarnation in this reality.  In truth our souls never die.  They are eternal.  Always were, always will be, just like God.  Read the book Home with God by Neale Donald Walsch.  It offers a hopeful and wonderful message about dying which will take all fear of death away from you forever.

What does it mean to die sooner than expected?  Fact is, our time on Earth is predestined from the time of our birth.  Thus, there's no such thing as dying 'sooner' than expected.\n\nIf a message is interrupted, then it wasn't meant to be delivered by the deceased.  If the message is meant to be continued, it may do so through another vehicle.\n\nAnd God only knows best.

Death and Mortality.\n\nThe boy dies unexpectedly and prematurely.  This gives thoughts on how easy it is to take life for granted.  \n\nThough it seems he does die slowly (with enough time to beg for his hand, and for the doctor to arrive, apply ether and listen as his heart slowed to "nothing") not must time is spent on the dying itself. \nDeath, it seems, no matter how long it takes to get there(here) is always quick and final.

We all have to die with something. Some people have to suffer, and some die  in peace. because of sin in the world we all have to die sooner or later with something. The most important thing is knowing God. Then when your time comes to die He will give you  the Grace and peace you need.

I suspect you know this is true, but you wish it were otherwise.  That is, you don't disagree -- but you'd like to be able to disagree.\n\nI think the statement is completely true.  Death is nothing to the dead -- since they no longer experience anything.  But also, death is nothing to the living:  Since we can only die once and there's absolutely nothing we can do to prevent it, there's nothing to be gained from wondering or worrying about death.
