“I didn’t see the white light or anything like that,” the 84-year-old actor said of his brush with death. “There’s nothing there.”
Al Pacino revealed on a podcast over the weekend that he almost died during a bout with Covid-19 — a near-death experience that left him pondering his mortality.
Pacino, 84, was plugging his memoir, “Sonny Boy.” on The New York Times’ podcast “The Interview” when he recounted how in 2020 he fell sick at his home from Covid and the situation quickly became dicey.
Pacino said that he had a fever and was dehydrated with a faint pulse and that he lost consciousness.
If your whole body goes through a chipper, is there a moment where all or most of your cells are still alive?
Are you defining death as ‘none of your cells are alive?’
I suppose some people would consider Henrietta Lacks to be alive, but I wouldn’t.
Otherwise, I don’t understand the point of your question. It’s neither a definition nor a list of criteria. But I would not be surprised if some human cells lived for a while after going through a wood chipper.
