Can brain dead people be brought back to life and is there cure for this?

August 30, 2020

Is brain death a disease? No. Brain death is just caused by diseases and is not a disease. Brain death is also known as brain stem death. Brain death is when a person on an artificial life support machine no longer has any brain functions. It is the irreversible loss of all functions of the brain. A person whose brain dead is legally confirmed as dead. So finally we can say that brain dead people are alive but their brains do not function at all.

Our homosapiens eyes are sensitive to light. Our pupils dilate when it is dark and shrink when there is light but what if it does not react with light? Then that person is a brain dead person. If a person does not react to pain or does not flinch when the eye is touched then the patient is brain dead. The three essential findings in brain death are coma, absence of brainstem reflexes, and apnoea. Brain death is caused by cardiac arrest, heart attack, stroke, blood clot, severe head injury, a brain hemorrhage, infections, such as encephalitis and brain tumor. The AAN’s 2010 guideline update provides the steps needed to determine brain death. It stresses three signs doctors must look for. First, the person is in a permanent coma, and the cause of the coma is known. Second, all brainstem reflexes have permanently stopped working. Third, breathing has permanently stopped and a ventilator must be used to keep the body functioning. My understanding is that we have got many ways to prove that a person is dead or a person is mentally met his maker. We can also conclude that micro-organisms, such as virus, and bacteria can also cause brain stem death.

Firstly, there are only some chances (10%) where people get cured and the other 90% people remain in a coma or get executed or their organs get transplanted into someone else who needs it with the family’s permission. But there are some people who are cured with god’s grace. Some people also state that brain dead people are not completely dead: A surgeon would have cut out the eyes of "brain dead" 14-year-old Taylor Hale of Iowa if she hadn't awakened in time. A man from Mississippi was being shipped to the morgue when he began kicking his way out of his body bag. Amazing right? So in this era, we can believe that miracles do exist. People whose fate is in favor of them can get out of this cage of brain death and live freely once again.

In this modern world no matter how modern we have become, scientists are still working on a cure for brain death. The doctors have done all they can to treat the person’s condition, but the brain will not recover function, and the person is considered as good as dead. The doctors will support the heart with medication. They will also provide oxygen through a ventilator, or breathing machine. The person’s body can be supported for days and, sometimes, even weeks. However, there is no reason to do so. A brain death diagnosis is final and cannot be reversed. So till now us, the 20th-century people are still working on a cure for brain death.

In my perspective, either scientist should find vaccines for diseases that cause brain death or should execute the people who are brain dead as that is a lot better than suffering a lot and then meeting our maker slowly. We people, should not play with Mother Nature’s way of maintaining the life cycle. We humans should understand that nature has its own way of doing things, even when it comes to life or death.
