The heart beating is not a good definition of being alive in my opinion. The heart stopping temporarily doesn't mean you died, you were just in terribly grave danger.

If a person is defined by their heart, what does that make a heart transplant?

utterly useless definition.

Hey why do you think they call it "grave" danger

[–] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

i know this is a joke, but i find it quite interesting those two words have completely different etymologies.

Grave as in burial site comes from an old proto indo european word for "dig", while grave as in serious comes from french.
