Are we Alive?

[Papewaio]

Do you remember anything when you were in the womb? or before, when you were just a concept? 'Cause if I'm the only that doesn't remember, I'm in serious trouble

So to be alive you have to have a 100% memory of all prior events.

Lets forget that most people filter what they remember and that they forget the majority of it within a week.

Few people remember much before they were 4. Are 4 year olds dead because their elder self cannot remember who they were?

Are younger people dead because Alzheimers patients in their 70's cannot remember much (although sometimes all they remember is their youth)?

Or are Alzheimers patients are the walking dead?
