THE HIGHER-BRAIN DEFINITIONOF DEATHThe so-called "higher brain death criteria" is based on theconcept as patients who are permanently unconscious have lostfunction of the upper brain (the cortex and associatedstructures), but not necessarily function of the lower brain(the brainstem)The higher-brain definition of death is not yet legal anywherein the world. But it is an idea that is debated increasingly.

THE HIGHER-
BRAIN
DEFINITION
OF DEATH
it is sometimes called the higherbrain-
oriented definition
Defining exactly which functions are
critical is controversial. Some have
claimed that the critical function
is the function of the cerebrum, but
it is theoretically possible for
some motor functions to remain in
the cerebrum even though all sensory
function is lost.
