Abstract

The November‐December 2018 issue of the Hastings Center Report celebrates two anniversaries. In a supplement to the issue, the fifty‐year‐old debate about what “dead” means—a debate launched in 1968 by the publication of the Harvard report on brain death—is dissected and reinvigorated in a set of essays assembled by Robert Truog, of Harvard Medical School's Center for Bioethics, and The Hastings Center's Nancy Berlinger, Rachel Zacharias, and Mildred Solomon. Inside the regular issue, a set of essays celebrates the two‐hundredth anniversary of the publication of Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, the novel about death, dissection, and reinvigoration and a touchstone for much commentary about emerging biotechnologies. Elsewhere in the issue are contrasting perspectives on physician‐assisted death, and in the lead article, Danielle Wenner explores the requirement, often noted but recently challenged, that medical research must have “social value” to be worth conducting.
