So then the person they save is not dead, but sometimes they’re not alive either. Like they need the technology to keep them going? Like they can’t be properly alive, but no one knows what to do with them? Not Dead. See?
The wording in this line reminded me of the scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail where they try to wheel off the man who claims to be "not dead", but that's beside the point. I still find the concept interesting especially as technology increases and more lives are extended will we every reach a point where it's too much? If you can live forever as only talking head, is that person really still alive and is that a life you want to live?
