Dying does eventually kill an organism, right?

  1. It's a tautology; the terms are equivalent.


  2. No, this statement falsely attributes the result to be the cause.

    Disease, injury, homicide, suicide, abortion--all these causes can kill an organism.

    Dying is the intermediate state between the cause and death.  

    For example, after the botched abortion, the infant lay dying in a pool of amniotic fluid.  It is not the dying that eventually kills the infant, but rather the abortion.

  3. Yes and no. It depends what you define as dying.

    Technically, living organisms begin to die from the moment they start to live. So in that sense, yes, dying will kill the organism.

    If somebody is slowly dying due to a disease, and they are cured, they are no longer seen as "dying", so in that sense, no.

  4. Yes but it doesn't eliminate him from existence.  He is only dead to the world and his body decays but his spirit lives on.
