Who is their blog administrator?<\/p>\n<p>Death is for sure. Unfortunately we do not know when, that is why we have a hard time planning for retirement. It will be so much easier for us to decide how much to spend each month if we know when we don&#8217;t need the money any more. Most of us end up living poor and dieing rich.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>At which stage do you consider yourself dead?<\/li>\n<li>When you heart stops beating?<\/li>\n<li>When your brain stops&nbsp;processing signals?<\/li>\n<li>When you cannot recognize you&nbsp;spouse and children?<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>When you defecate on yourself because you are not able to go to the loo? or<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>When you stop enjoying sex?<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Modern medicine is able to give us longer life.&nbsp;But how&nbsp;many needles and tubes do they need to insert into you before you consider yourself dead?
