Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mr. Johnson's cerebral cortex no longer registers electrical activity, but his brain stem remains active. This indicates that he has entered a persistent vegetative state. It is important to note that while he may be considered clinically dead, he is not brain dead as his brain stem is still active. The agonal phase of death refers to the final moments of life, and the mortality phase is not a recognized term in relation to the stages of death.
