10、eath is natural, but do you have any idea of the process of dying? Modern scientists divide the process of dying into two phases - clinical or temporary death and biological death. Clinical death occurs when the vital organs, such as the heart or lungs, have ceased to function, but have not suffered
11、 permanent damage. The organism can still be revived(复活). Biological death occurs when changes in the organism lead to the “breaking up” of vital cells and tissues. Death is then unchangeable and final.Scientists have been seeking a way to prolong the period of clinical death so that the organism ca
12、n remain alive before biological death occurs. The best method developed so far involves cooling of the organism, combined with narcotic sleep. By slowing down the bodys metabolism(新陈代谢), cooling delays the processes leading to biological death.To illustrate how this works, scientists performed an e

After six hours, when the scientists tried to give her a penicillin injection, Keta seized the syringe and ran with it around
16、the room.
