The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Another bit of possible foreshadowing
forumghost:
I mean Corpsetaker though. She was all dead (bullet to the back of the Skull) but she wasn't dead enough that she couldn't come back from it.
Death is really fuzzy in the Dresdenverse. The way I see it, Harry was dead alright... but as Bob put it, Dead=/=Gone.
Basically, Miracle Max has it wrong here. Mostly Dead? Easy Fix. All dead? Harder, but still doable. Very dead? Getting tricky but sure. Super Dead? Kiiiinnda pushing the boundary here. DED Dead? Okay yeah, now there's nothing left to do but go through their pockets for change.

Kind of dead isn't really a meaningful statement. Neither is almost dead, or dead enough to fool gods and whoever else. And had JB not wanted this confusion he should have picked another mythology other than the Christian one. Christian(Catholic) mythology would say that (assisted) suicide is a mortal sin and condemns the soul to hell. And thus, I assume, the imbalance that Urial was addressing.
While the point at which you die finally die isn't clear, there is a point where you are dead. Which is what Mab's quote is about. JB is channeling biologists.

As for Mab getting a baby off of Harry, I doubt it, just because Jim's gone to that well once already.

Twice. And do you have a citation for the Austrian? The WOJ database defies my search capabilities.

Also, consider Mab's state at the end of Ghost Story -- she's decrepit and emaciated from spending the previous months keeping Harry's body alive. While there may well be significant differences between Faerie and Human physiology, it seems to me that she couldn't have been carrying a child and using up all her strength and wasting away saving Harry at the same time.

Makes me wonder if during this time of weakness it allowed enemies to move about, gaining ground.

Probably! After all, she wasn't attending to her normal duties, and while she does have Lea, she may not have been able to cover all her bases.
