Dying

Final process of life

Dying is the final stage of life which will eventually lead to death. Diagnosing dying is a complex process of clinical decision-making, and most practice checklists facilitating this diagnosis are based on cancer diagnoses. Dying is a two-stage process in which clinical death occurs when a heart stops beating, and biological death occurs when brain cells start to die from a lack of oxygen.
