You do it first.

It is still debatable. If a person has no brain or is technically brain-dead, can't do anything, is less alive than in a coma, or in other words is in a vegetable state.....tell me. Would that person be alive, or not?

On one hand, you can argue that since it's heart is still beating or the body is still far from becoming a decomposed bunch of dead skin and bones, it's alive, in a biological sense.

On the other hand, you can argue that since that person can't really do anything, doesn't even have a consciousness anymore, will never "wake up" and has no salvation, it's already dead, in a more spiritual, and logical, sense.

Besides, like I said, plants still fail at the rest of the criteria.
