How to use "Eternal sleep" in context?
When one thinks about death, what typically comes to mind are images of coffins, wakes, and funerals. But for some, death may mean the loss of conscious life, entering what is known as "eternal sleep." Eternal sleep is a condition in which a person, after remaining clinically brain-dead for a period of time, is declared "dead but alive" by a majority of neurologists, as judged by the EEG (electroencephalogram) and other tests. With resuscitation efforts potentially awaiting years, many in this situation come to accept their fate and simply wait out the inevitable.
