The Changing Definition of What Is ‘Brain Dead’
Healthline News has just posted a nice new review of the debate over brain death. It is not 100% accurate. But it is a lucid, comprehensive, lay presentation of the issues.
I love this quote from the distinguished critical care specialist and ethicist John Luce: " The brain dead people are not as dead as we once thought they were, in the overall biological sense."
The article also notes that Calixto Machado is working on a paper, to be published before the end of the year, which will propose a new category of consciousness to describe Jahi McMath’s as-yet-unseen circumstances.
