...fact that a heart-lung machine can keep major parts of a body "alive" long after effective death. The long-held notion that death can be pinpointed in time, four or five minutes after heart action and breathing have stopped, is erroneous, said Cleveland's Dr. Charles L. Hudson, principal U.S. delegate in Sydney...

Medical interest, however, lies not in the preservation of isolated cells but in the fate of a person.

In this picture, she is equipped with a husband (Patrick O'Neal), but by pouting continually, she keeps him at arm's length. Morse, drugged on her sleeping potion, never gets to make anything but frantic motions. Thus...
