The development and evolution of the concept of brain death has been necessary due to our technologic advances in medical care and organ transplantation. The current operational definition of brain death is based on coma, absent brain stem reflexes, and apnea, with use of confirmatory testing only as necessary.

✓ “Brain death” was analyzed in 25 moribund patients with regard to the clinical evaluation of the patients and the significance of segmental reflexes and electroencephalographic recordings. It is concluded that a state of brain death in a patient with known irreparable pathology can be established solely on clinical grounds.

The diagnosis of brain death should be based on a simple premise. If every possible confounder has been excluded and all possible treatments have been tried or considered, irreversible loss of brain function is clinically recognized as the absence of brainstem reflexes, verified apnea, loss of vascular tone, invariant heart rate, and, eventually ...

Death is a natural process, but the definition of death varies depending on the cultural and religious background, all over the world. The historical development of the concept and the current criteria in the determination of brain death must be well understood.

Is ‘Brain Death’ Actually Death?
Monist, 1993The paper rejects "brain death" as a new criterion, or definition, of actual death. The main theses are two: 1. Brain death as such--in any of its meanings--is not man's death and this can be proven by means of many cogent and some plausible arguments. 2.

Brain death and care of the brain death patient
Current Anaesthesia & Critical Care, 1999Abstract The availability of organs for transplantation is very limited. It is not only the legal and ethical factors, but also the feelings of the relatives of potential donors that contribute to this scarcity. All involved in the acquisition of organs must be aware of the regulations and the proper way to determine brain death.

Journal of Child Neurology, 2012
For the past 50 years, the medical profession has understood ‘‘brain death’’ to represent the endpoint of a neuropathologic vicious cycle. An initial major brain injury sets off a mutually exacerbating cascade of cerebral edema, increased intracranial pressure, and decreased cerebral blood flow, which advances beyond some point-of-no-return to a state ...

Brain Death is Not Death: A Critique of the Concept, Criterion, and Tests of Brain Death
Reviews in the Neurosciences, 2009This paper suggests that there are insurmountable problems for brain death as a criterion of death. The following are argued: (1) brain death does not meet an accepted concept of death, and is not the loss of integration of the organism as a whole; (2) brain death does not meet the criterion of brain death itself; brain death is not the irreversible ...

This paper examines the case of a pregnant woman killed by a traffic accident (brain-death), but under intensive care and discusses legal and ethical aspects. Ceasing intensive care was, legally, neither necessary nor forbidden. Ethically, the right to life in a defensive meaning is unlimited, however, in the sense of a right to participate, it is ...
