When did death begin?In: Christianity, Islam, Judaism |
[Edit] |
[Edit] 
The Bible records:
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground,
and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life;
and man became a living soul.
(Genesis 2:7)
According to Jewish law life ends (and death begins) when a person stops breathing.
The typical test is to put a soft feather near the nostrils and observe if it flutters.
Brain death has no validity in Judaism; a person is alive until they stop breathing.
