Scientists have for the first time identified where the shutdown sequence begins in the brain when the organ is dying.

They discovered the starting point of what they call the 'wave of death' - a flood of chemicals sweep through the brain, followed by a wave of electricity, then nothing.

Lead author Séverine Mahon, a neuroscientist at the Paris Brain Institute in France, told DailyMail.com: 'Our work shows that dying (and not death) is not an event but a 'long' process that can be reversed up to a certain point.'

'But we don't yet know exactly where the point of no return lies.'

This is amazing news, but just imagine what types of problems we would have if this technology is applied to everyone. If everyone lived forever just imagine what that would do to the Earth's resources.

Great point. People always complain about technologies like this only being available to certain types of people...the rich, the famous, government officials or the highly educated. But in reality, not everyone should be able to take part in this type of technology. If so, then it would definitely lead to the destruction of mankind. Now...who should this technology be used on is a question that can be debated.
