They are definitely "dead" in the sense that there is no sentience or trace left of whoever they used to be. It is like in some Frankenstein movies where the good doctor takes the arm of a corpse and reanimates it with electricity. It is undeath. They reform into Gem zombie limbs.

As such, shattering is death to Gems as it utterly destroyes the individual. The remaining shards will never ever be able to be put back together and the Gem reforming again. The fact that it leaves their "body parts" still animated in the forms of shards just makes it even more disturbing...

And it makes "Secret Team" quite horrific, too.
