PROBLEMS WITH A SOMATICDEFINITION OF DEATHFor an individual to be deadby this definition, thestoppage of bodily integrative function such ascirculatory and respiratory function must beirreversibleIt is very common but very wrong for clinicians andothers to refer to someone who has suffered a cardiacarrest and been successfully resuscitated as havingbeen “clinically dead.” Being dead means irreversibleloss of circulatory function
A WHOLE-BRAIN-ORIENTEDDEFINITION OF DEATHThat brings us up to about 1970, when we began talking aboutwhat is today sometimes called the whole-brain-orienteddefinition of death based on neurological criteria.An individual dies, according to this view, when there isirreversible cessation of all functions of the entire brain,including the brain stem (Harvard Medical School, 1968)The majority of the writers of both the 1981 President’sCommission and the 2008 report of the President’s Council onBioethics held this view.
