La pérdida patológica del conocimiento puede traer como consecuencia una variedad de daños cerebrales [...] Cuando dicha pérdida cognitiva dura más de unas pocas semanas, la condición se llama estado vegetativo persistente (EVP), porque el cuerpo mantiene las funciones necesarias para continuar la sobrevivencia vegetativa.  5, record 1, Spanish, - estado%20vegetativo%20persistente

Extensive dialogue and debate has centered on when the vegetative state becomes permanent. Originally, and in common usage today, the term "persistent" was equated with "permanent. "But the two terms should be distinguished, because some persistent vegetative state patients, especially those with traumatic head injuries, may gradually improve to higher levels of cognitive and motor functions in the first few months.... So the term "persistent" should be restricted to patients in a vegetative state of at least 1-month duration, while "permanent" should be used when it can be determined with an extremely high degree of certainty that the condition is irreversible.  2, record 2, English, - permanent%20vegetative%20state

Hot-water disinfection is an excellent method of destroying most germs that are in a vegetative state. To ensure that spores are destroyed, equipment parts that can be disassembled and all small parts must be immersed in a tub or tank filled with water at disinfection temperature(80°C) for 10 minutes.  1, record 3, English, - hot%2Dwater%20disinfection

La désinfection à l'eau chaude constitue quant à elle la méthode par excellence pour détruire la plupart des germes à l'état végétatif.

Historically, attempts to define the exact moment of death have been problematic. Death was once defined as the cessation of heartbeat(cardiac arrest) and of breathing, but the development of CPR [cardiopulmonary resuscitation] and prompt defibrillation posed a challenge, rendering the previous definition inadequate. This earlier definition of death is now called "clinical death", and even after it occurs, breathing and heartbeat may be restarted in some cases.... Today, where a definition of the moment of death is required, doctors and coroners usually turn to "brain death" or "biological death" : people are considered dead when the electrical activity in their brain ceases(persistent vegetative state). It is presumed that a stoppage of electrical activity indicates the end of consciousness. However, suspension of consciousness must be permanent, and not transient, as occurs during sleep, and especially a coma.  3, record 4, English, - death%20and%20dying

Certains témoins ont expliqué pourquoi, selon eux, les questions entourant la mort et le mourir n'ont acquis que récemment une telle importance sur la place publique. Le Comité [Comité spécial du Sénat sur l'euthanasie et l'aide au suicide] a jugé utile de présenter quelques-unes de ces raisons pour situer le contexte de son examen : a) la Charte canadienne des droits et libertés, b) les progrès technologiques, c) les attitudes face à la mort, d) l'endroit où l'on meurt, e) attitudes à l'égard des médecins et des droits des patients et f) l'évolution démographique.  2, record 4, French, - la%20mort%20et%20le%20mourir
