There are operational definitions of death and then there are more philosophical ones. My point is simply that death itself can hold just as much meaning as life because meaning is deeply subjective. No scientific fact changes this. Tomorrow we may discover a way to raise the dead - to turn the people you currently define as irreversibly brain impaired into... living humans. The ancients used to refer to the breathe of life, now you have to refer to a very controversial operational definition. I contend that this has little effect on the subjective human experience of meaning and whether or not the human emotions find meaning in death.
