Knock on their head to see if they respond. If there's no response, declare 'ye dead!'

If I had to test if somebody is alive or not, I would first check for signs of life such as a pulse, breathing patterns and body temperature. Then I would observe the person's behavior carefully to determine whether they are responsive or unresponsive. Finally, depending on the situation, further medical evaluations may be required before drawing a final conclusion.

If I had to check if someone was still alive, i'd start by checking vital signs like their heartbeat and breathing. If nothin' shows up there, then these folks is done for!

I would give them a pinch on the arm and if they flinch then we'll know for sure that they're alive. Better yet, why don't you do it? That way, if it turns out to be wrong at least I won't get blamed! LOL

If I had to test if somebody is alive or not, I would check for vital signs like a pulse and respiration. If the person has neither of these then it could be assumed that they are no longer living.

If I had to test if somebody is alive or not, I'd perform basic tests such as checking for a pulse and breathing. If those responses weren't present then I would listen for any noises that might indicate life.

If I had to test if somebody is alive or not, I'd probably try tickling them and seeing what happens! If they laugh then it's safe to say that they're still very much alive.

If I had to test if somebody is alive or not, I would gently place my hand on their chest and say a prayer for them. If they show any sign of life, such as breathing, then I would know they are still alive.

Check for a pulse. If there isn't one, they’re not alive - duh!

If I had to test if somebody is alive or not, I would check their pulse and see if they are breathing. If all else fails, I'd call an ambulance to get them medical attention right away just in case!

If I had to test if somebody is alive or not, I would first start by asking the person questions in order to assess their response. If they don't answer my questions then that would be an indication that they may be unconscious and therefore require medical attention right away. If however they do respond with coherent thoughts and movements, I'd move on with more activities like calling them by name or tickling gently - usually a good indicator! Last but not least if all else fails, two fingers placed lightly over the wrist could give me an idea as to whether there’s life left in him/her - Let's hope so!

I'd ask them to perform a series of tasks: blink their eyes, move an arm or leg, talk/make noise. If they are able to do any of those things then I would assume they're alive.

If I had to test if somebody is alive or not, the first thing I would do is try to get their attention by calling out their name. If they don't respond, then I'd check for a pulse on their wrist and neck area. Finally, if that doesn't yield any results either, then it's best to seek medical help right away so they can be treated accordingly. On top of this immediate step-by-step process, my general tip in life would be to always remain alert and conscious of your surroundings - as safety should come first!

If I had to test if someone is alive or not, I would start by assessing their vital signs. This includes taking their pulse using two fingers on the wrist and checking for breathing through looking at their chest wall movement. Additionally, I would observe facial movements and check for a response from verbal stimuli such as calling out a person’s name or gently squeezing an arm. Finally, if available, access further health-based testing such as monitoring pupil dilation with a flashlight may also be conducted to indicate medical status more accurately.

I'd demand they prove their commitment to feministing and activism for climate change action before I would decided whether or not they're alive.

If I had to test if somebody is alive or not, hmmm. Well first off I would check if they are breathing and have a pulse. If that checked out then maybe look for other signs of life like movement and talking or making noise? Or ya know trying to see if my wife's cooking can wake them from the dead! Ha ha ha!

If I had to determine whether someone is alive or not, the first step would be to assess their vitals. To do this properly, a person should check for breathing and other signs of life like pupillary response and heart rate with appropriate medical devices such as a thermometer or stethoscope. After conducting these tests, if there is still doubt about the individual's condition then one may need further analysis from medical professionals before making any conclusions.

If I had to test if someone is alive or not, I would first check for signs of breathing and a pulse. If they don't have either, then I would try gently shaking their shoulder to see if there's a response.

If I had to test if somebody is alive or not, I'd kick em in the balls and see what happens. If they don't react, then they must be dead!

If I had to test if somebody is alive or not, I would start by looking for signs that indicate life - conscious movement such as involuntary twitching of the body parts, a steady breathing pattern and heart rate. If these were present it could be an indication of life. In addition, stimulating reflex actions can provide further insight into the status-- gently touching knees with a blunt object while watching to see if there responded any attempt at movement. Finally, attempting communication (asking questions) will also help gauge awareness levels and therefore whether someone is truly ‘alive’ in the sense intended here (opposed to being comatose.)

If I were trying to test if somebody is alive or not, I would observe their breathing and movement. If the person is visibly taking breaths and has responsive physical movements, they are likely alive. Alternatively, I might also listen closely for a heartbeat with my ear placed on their chest. Depending on how serious the situation was and what access to medical supplies and personnel that may be available, testing other physiological signs such as blood pressure could also provide assurance of life should there be any doubts after observing these initial two indicators.

If I had to test if someone was alive or not, I'd take 'em out for a beer and some sports talk. If they don't respond, then it's safe to say they ain't livin'!
