Fail. You're not tossing a coin here. It's not an either this or that scenario. You might as well say that there's a 50:50 chance of getting hit by a car next time you cross the road. Who'd ever cross a road with those odds? All the scientific evidence points to consciousness as a function of complex brains, and that when brains stop, consciousness stops too. I'd suggest that the odds are at least 99.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999991% certain that death = the end of consciousness.
Your statement that when the brains stop consciousness stops too is very unfounded and unscientific. It is only opinion. You have no evidence to prove this. This is a rational website, so please be more rational in your response.
Yeah, right, just as there is no evidence to prove that there isn't a china teapot circling the Sun in Earth orbit. Like we haven't heard that before.
Here's a hint: Don't try to tell us how we should act on our rational website when you are making blind, irrational assertions and expecting people to go along with them.
