19、 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 perma

20、nent 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 can rema

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