Answer 1

Not everything dies at once. That’s why organ donation works. The organs are still alive and can be used in another person if taken care of and quickly transplanted. Once we die, or bodies stop breathing and eating, so each individual cell will eventually die shortly after the body dies, but it varies greatly.
