The question with no answer

It goes something like this:

A: Do you know what it's like to be dead?
B: No.
A: Then how do you know you are alive?
B: ...

See? No answer! I suppose it is like the chicken and the egg question, but we all know what a chicken is and what an egg is. But do we really know what death is? If we don't, then doesn't that mean we also do not really know what life is?

If anyone has an answer, please contact me. (I just might post this question to Yahoo Answers in search of some, hopefully, good responses!)

post it on yahoo answers, what do you have to lose? This is kinda like the movie the Sixth Sense.

Anyways, I feel like this could easily be applied to any other question where the options are mutually exclusive. Just pick something you haven't done.
