Popis:	In the past, death has often been defined as the separation of the soul and body. Human death definition was much easier in the past. When the heart and the lungs stopped working the person died. With advances in medical technology the distinction between life and deathhas become blurred. Life support technologies introduced in the 20th century have generated a new kind of patient, one whose brain does not function but whose heart and lungs continue to work.
