Why people declared dead when the brain stops functioning even when the heart is beating?

Your Brain is like the harddrive on your computer. It controls all your body functions including breathing, movement, awareness, cognitive abilities, heart function, nerve and muscle function etc. The only way a heart still beats after brain death is more than likely due to being assisted by medicine: respiratory support. If you take this away the patients brain causes breathing to cease and the heart to stop beating. This is called clinical death. Both Brain Death & Clinical Death are the same except for the fact that doctors usually put such patients on life support until family has made the decision to remove said support. There are also times that brain death has occurred but physicians will keep patients on life support if they are organ donors and they must have their organs harvested. After this the physicians will remove said life support and the patient will be pronounced dead.
