I never really got the “heart stop = dead” thing like yes, if you’re heart stops you’re going to die, but even when someone is beheaded, they are still conscious enough for a few seconds to blink their eyes in response to questions. It’s when the electrical signals in your brain stop that you’re actually dead, not your heart.
Yup! I love the whole pro life “abortion stops a beating heart!” thing. The heart doesn’t really mean much, you can make a heart beat in a petrie dish, that doesn’t make it “alive”.
