Reply To: Lack of kovid hatorah.

Dear Ubiquitin,
Please enlighten me. From what I understood, medical ethicists sounded the alarm in the early 1960’s that modern medicine may be able to declare a death based on lack of brain activity alone. (Without major organ failure.) By the mid 1970s experts concluded that this was purely hypothetical, and has no standing in scientific reality. Today every brain death protocol gives heart and lung failure as criteria for brain death.
