Life ends when the brain is dead, not when the heart stops.
Life ends when the heartbeat ends, why wouldn’t it begin when the heartbeat begins?https://twitter.com/SteveKingIA/status/1149828676781039618 …

Life is hard to define at the margins. A rotting corpse is clearly dead and a consicous person is clearly alive, but identifying the exact point of transition is an unsolved problem.

Life begins and it proves by it's own action to grow. As two cells split and continues to grow is the beginning of life. As it screamed so often woman have rights to their own body, zygote, embryo, fetus, etc. has different unique DNA giving its own rights to it's own body too

Because life leads TO the beating if the heart just like someone whose heart has stopped can be brought back to "life", given they're not dead after it stopped.

Also,. life is a process that resists entropy, and is an asymmetrical process. Time;'s arrow and all that. People don't shrink and regress to a single cell when they die. Some life forms experience metamorphosis. Does a larva die to give birth to a butterfly?

I can imagine an alien species that is born with a heart but loses is in a later stage, like shedding skin or losing baby teeth. Attaching a special meaning to the heart is magical thinking.

Because life doesn't end when the heartbeat ends. Or we wouldn't have AED and CPR.

If you are able to resuscitate then the heartbeat hasn't ended, it just paused.

Only because of the external intervention.

The brain keeps on living after the heartbeat ends.

Life does not end when the hearbeat ends. Ask any heart surgeon.

I've debated against a lefty that claimed that a fetus isn't human until brain activity begins. Which, by his claim, is 25 weeks. He does this to disregard going by heartbeat. The sad thing is that he's a university trained nurse.

Does he do it to avoid going by heartbeat, or does he do it cause that’s what the science says? I notice you didn’t seem to care about that difference, chief.

If that's the case, this should have been impossible.https://www.today.com/health/born-21-weeks-she-may-be-most-premature-surviving-baby-t118610 …

Actually, life often continues for a time after the heart stops. Not long, but it keeps going for a bit on "residual power."

“Life ends when the heartbeat ends.......” Not strictly true. I think the record for surviving without a heartbeat is two hours. Guy drowned in icy water which prevented brain damage.

My heartbeat had stopped. The part of my heart is dead. Am I alive?

It actually ends when the brain ends, which is much later. Same for birth.
