When a battery is dead it is irreversably dead!
When a circuit is switched off it's completely dead!
When a life-form dies all electro-chemical activity ceases!
My conclusion: When ya dead, ya dead! everything else remains inconclusive unsubstanciated hearsay.

It dissipates into heat, static electricity and food (or energy) for the worms.

You're talking about the conservation of energy.

Well conservation of energy says something has to happen to it. Residual energy in the body dissipates as heat. This has been observed and documented. Theres no mystery to it and/or any requirement for theories about the energy transforming into spirits, ghosts or aliens. :)

Science isnt going to accept anything for which there is no evidence or reasonable premise. If they did otherwise it wouldnt be science would it.

Can't argue with that, I suppose. Though I sometimes think that death is the most boring thing in the universe, so I don't blame the human mind for trying to spice it up a bit.

I think the certainty of death works both ways. It inspires people to make their mark as quickly as possible, which can lead to good and great things but just as easily to terrible things, as we've seen throughout history.
I often wonder how the world would be different if people lived longer - say for 400 years on average...
