第一篇：
What Is Death?
Peoplein the past did not question the difference between life and death.They could see that a person died when his heart stopped beating.People have learned, however, that the body does not die immediatelywhen the heart stops beating. They discovered that we remain alive aslong as our brain remains active. Today the difference between life anddeath is not as easy to see as in the past. Modern medical devices cankeep the heart beating and the lungs breathing long after the brainstops. But is this life?
This question has caused much debate amongcitizens in the United States. Many of them want a law that says aperson is dead when the brain dies. A person should be considered deadwhen brain waves stop even if machines can keep the body alive. Such alaw would permit doctors to speed removal(切除) of undiseased（没病的）organsfor transplant（移植） operations.
The brain is made of thousands ofmillions of nerve cells. These cells send and receive millions ofchemical and electrical messages every day. In this way the braincontrols the other body activities. Nerve-cell experts say it usuallyis easy to tell when the brain has died. They put small electrodes(电极)on a person’s skull (头骨) to measure the electrical signals that pass inand out of the brain. These brain waves are recorded on a televisionscreen or on paper. The waves move up and down every time the brainreceives messages from the nerve cells. The brain is dead when thewaves stop moving.
Although there are people who oppose the idea ofa law on brain block for variouis reasons, the idea of brain waveactivity as a test of death is slowly being accepted.
