Answer 1

4). The term "noncorporeal continuity" refers to the existence of humans in some form after the physical body dies.

5). The irreversible stoppage of the functioning of body’s vital systems such as cardiovascular system, respiratory system, and the brain is considered as clinical death or death.

The brain-dead patients look like they are alive, the body remains warm and breath (on mechanical support), but they do not show neurological reflexes. Cellular death means, local cell death, which does not usually affect the reflexes of the patient.
