Shouldn't Dead Be Dead?: The Search for a Uniform Definition of Death
Journal of Law, Medicine and Ethics 45 (1):112-128 (2017)
Abstract
In 1968, the definition of death in the United States was expanded to include not just death by cardiopulmonary criteria, but also death by neurologic criteria. We explore the way the definition has been modified by the medical and legal communities over the past 50 years and address the medical, legal and ethical controversies associated with the definition at present, with a particular highlight on the Supreme Court of Nevada Case of Aden Hailu.Author's Profile
