Wow, that was about as uninteresting as it was unhelpful. If your target was meaningless drivel, you nearly hit a bull's eye.

Bioligical death isn't the death of the information that produced the biological organism at the first place. Because the information is still around in some form there is always a chance for re-emergence or material re-realization of the biological organism. So biological death cannot be the final verdict as long as the relevant information that produced the organism at the first place still exists in some form.

Would it be the stoppage of information processing? Plain information isn't useful if it's not being copied/processed.

I mean we could take this as far as the law of ‘information can never be destroyed’ and conclude no one ever dies if we amount death to extinction of information. Does this guarantee life after ‘death’ (as we know it) I’m not sure, I like to think if the ‘environment’ that allows me to exist is eternal then at some point I will come back, we need to define ‘environment’ We know that the environment has some slack, for example every moment is different yet I am continually conscious. The slack being things like my atoms are constantly replacing themselves yet this slack (difference) still permits that I remain as me. However we know the quantum acts differently to the macro and most of our language is perhaps specialised for describing the macro, my point being- therefore change on quantum level may not be change on macro level, at least as far as consciousness is concerned.

@@MasoudJohnAzizi I like the Shannon's definition of information that in essence is the lack of entropy or disorder. The more a system deviates from the state of maximum entropy or disorder, the more information it contains. The thermodynamic equilibrium state is the dead state of maximum entropy where all thermodynamic processes including life stops. These are the physical definitions of information and death (biological or not) that naturally emerge from thermodynamics. In short to be alive one needs to be in a state far away from thermodynamic equilibrium. I hope you find this useful.

@@sprightlyrandom1550 This is a very interesting point indeed. I tend to believe that in our expanding universe the information is not only conserved but it's gradually increasing with time. Our immediate environment is the global society we live in and the information that makes us is not only stored in the individual genes but also spread between the members of the society. So the biological death of an individual does not destroy the information that made it at the first place. This is also what makes de-extinction possible. However, due to evolution and increasing information content of our environment it's hard to believe that we will return as we were. In other words "history doesn't repeat itself exactly". If you're interested in some basic quantum treatment of the cosmic evolution we have 2022 manuscript on the arXive that provides an information theoretical account of the cosmic evolution. Best,

i’m a biologist, and have some knowledge of geology, evolution, apoptosis, senescence and grief. However, I regret to report that IMHO this conversation was not very inspiring.

Indeed.

What we need is intelligent life without the created entanglement with desperation and/or the beast (inflated ego), aka, vanity, greed and envy. Humans are capable of that but as it is, are taught instead to compete with each other in order to survive or live better, acting jus like the less intelligent animals do.

I do wish that before death, and instead of trying to reinvent the wheel, we become prestigious in the lifestyle that is philosophy and as genuine seekers in discussing the philosophy of antiquity, as a collective, acknowledge that those men were far superior to us in thought and the true sciences. I do mean true science. And not the one reduced to mere calculators, whereby everything affirmed is rendered so by touch.

Life is a prerequisite to the dead, and the death is a prerequisite to life. Both life and dead is biological.

Jesus Christ of Nazareth...

"Philosophy of Biological Death?" Bilogical death is nothing to be so worried about because it only affects your temporary physical body but not your immortal soul that remains intact and survives forever... ... what you should be concerned about is your soul's eternal fate that solely relies on what you had freely chosen to believe, or not believe, regarding the existence of a loving Creator or GOD, before your physical death... ..if you had chosen to live a life with God's grace, then Heaven is where your soul belongs to live genuinely happy ever after... ..but if you had chosen to believe in Darwin's IGUANA as your Original Mama, ie., had chosen a life without God's grace, then your wish is your command.... your soul will end up in a cold dark empty state (hell) - an absence of God's blessings.... God can not force you Home because your soul is free....
