Document Summary
D1 : x dies at t = df x ceases to be alive at t. In these sorts of cases, there is cessation of life, only that life to return. 1: the (first) cessation of life is nor permanent, and that"s the point, suspended animation is a temporary cessation of life. D2: x dies at t = df x ceases permanently to be alive at t. This fixes our initial problem with cases of suspended animation. 1: at t1, tim and jim are frozen to be reanimated at t2, but at t1. 5, tim"s body is damaged to the point that he will not be able to be reanimated. D3: x dies at t = df x ceases permanently and irreversibly to be alive at t. A problem for d3: according to feldman, there is no single time t at which the permanence and irreversibility of, so, feldman revises his definition to produce d4 death simultaneously come to be.
