MO? As far as the "levels" of flat-lining that are available for detailing a death ... I don't care one bit about any actual "line" ... My decision rests in the knowledge of; "Will the brain and body, without any external stimulation (breathing tubes, wires, probes, etc. ...), continue to sustain each other to promote life?"

If one, or the other, can't, and the other then quits, then the question pretty much answered itself.

Death...
By that definition, barrier birth control is okay but hormonal birth control is bad. That's pretty close to the Catholic Church's position and is probably the best reasoned argument against abortion for any reason.

Your definition of death needs work as it requires fortune-telling.
