Question 

Some scientists and doctors suggest using detailed definitions for medical conditions that include biological signs or cell-level details. However, these definitions aren't commonly used in clinics or courts yet. Research shows that brain death is commonly seen as the way to decide if someone has died in many developed countries because it covers lots of aspects. But determining death based on heart and lung function is still important, especially where advanced life-support machines aren't available. Deciding when someone is "dead" usually relies on the context and rules of a medical or legal setting. Brain death is the most dependable and widely used standard because it is clearly defined and has important ethical considerations (Leming and Dickinson, 2020)
