I would say that "the soul" is part of your mystical belief system and
that there is no such thing as a "soul." You can define the term, but
not in a way that allows us to undertake scientific studies of "the
soul." So I would say that there is very little value in the concept.
One definition for "the soul" has no religious connotations attached.
Many consider the soul to be the same essence that is life.
Why when something has been dead for only a very brief time can we not
restart the machine. Yes I know that we can in a lot of cases, but
likewise in many cases we cannot.
Maybe this is more philosophical than practical. It just gets to me
that we can jumpstart all the organ systems needed for the body to work,
but once that essence is gone, it's gone. Kinda depressing.
