Subject: RE: BS: Death From: Amos Date: 30 May 07 - 01:36 PM Well, without getting into controversial metaphysics, I have to agree with you, Lynne, and I have observed the same qualitative difference in human death. A meat body without a "driver" is so clearly just mass, mechanism, inert and about as lively as a cold rock, that it is palpable. A |
Subject: BS: Death From: MBSLynne Date: 30 May 07 - 01:32 PM I just wanted to comment on something I've noticed and see what other people have to say. I saw a dead cow today and noticed something I've noticed before. She was lying still in the stall and from the way she was lying could have been asleep but, though I could only see her tail as she was covered with a blanket, having been ill, I knew immediately that she was dead. Alright, there is no breathing movement, but that is often only minimal anyway. There is just something missing from a dead creature that makes it so obviously dead. I assume humans are the same though I've never seen a dead person. The stillness of death is different from living stillness. Love Lynne |
