The uncertain future of the determination of brain death

Article indépendant

TRUOG, Robert D.

In 1980, the US Uniform Law Commission (ULC) established the Uniform Determination of Death Act (UDDA), which was subsequently adopted (with some modifications) by all 50 states. The law states that death is defined as either (1) the irreversible cessation of circulatory and respiratory functions or (2) the irreversible cessation of all functions of the entire brain, including the brainstem. Although the loss of cardiorespiratory function has always been recognized as death, the determination of death by neurologic criteria was seen by some as creating a new way of defining death, one based on the loss of brain functioning rather than the loss of biological functioning.
