Death : is normally understood to be the cessation of all vital
phenomena without capability of resuscitation, either in animals or plants.
It is the extinction of an organism's life. However there are many
doctrines and religions that do believe there is some form of
spiritual or mental survival of physical death. See also: afterlife,
