I explained we can artificially keep their body alive, but determine they are dead with an EEG to measure their brain activity even with a pulse and respirations.   This is an example of using technology to move the point of death. Because with the traditional pulse and respirations they are alive, but with the EEG they are dead.

Using life support also moves the point of death because without the life support nature would take its course and they would die.

I'm starting to get the feeling I could explain this 1001 different ways and you wouldn't concede the point that technology has in fact moved the point of death.

Keeping them alive longer isn't moving the point of death. The point of death is when brainwaves, heartbeat, ect is gone is it not? Technology can't move that point back. It can make it harder to die, but it doesn't move the point back.
