This sounds very obvious, I know. I assume it doesn’t immediately stop the heart, and people can still survive even while being “brain dead”. So what exactly happens in the body to cause immediate death once a bullet enters the brain?
In: Biology
A heart beat isn’t what determines if you’re alive or not. If your heart just stopped beating right now you’d live for quite a few minutes.
Why?
It’s the brain that is you. Your heart doesn’t think. It isn’t conscious. Your brain is.
Someone who is brain dead with a beating heart isn’t really alive. They’re just a corpse with a beating heart.
