Abstract :

Today, as a result of the progress of medical science as a special custom in the diagnosis of living human beings, different views have emerged regarding the common custom and traditional beliefs. The result of this issue is the recognition of human life and death; Because if we believe that death occurs due to the stopping of the heartbeat, it does not include the cases caused by the stopping of brain activity, and the basis and difference of views regarding the change of life and death of humans is not believing in any of these theories. Nevertheless, people with stable plant life conditions need attention and drafting protective laws to protect the rights of these people, and society's perception of whether these people are alive or dead will bring legal and criminal effects and judgments for them. . And it seems that these people are considered living human beings and benefit from all the rights of living human beings. This article aims to examine the jurisprudential solutions regarding plant life and to clear some ambiguities regarding the concept of plant life. For this purpose, in order to avoid different interpretations and grievances, as well as to create supportive-social conditions, we need to formulate laws and enter support organizations to protect the rights of people with vegetative life as best as possible.
