Brain Death and Brainstem Death: Philosophical and Ethical Considerations
Royal Institute of Philosophy Lecture Series 22:231-249 (1987)
Abstract
This paper examines the development of the concept of brain death and of the criteria necessary for its recognition. Competing formulations of brain death are assessed and the case for a ‘brainstem’ concept of death is argued. Attention is finally drawn to some of the ethical issues raised by the use of neurological criteria in the diagnosis of human death.Other Versions
