Originally published in 1985, this book examines the concept of
death against the background of dramatic changes in medical
technology. The book argues that 'brain death' can be precisely
defined and that a biological concept of death such as 'brain
death' can be philosophically well-grounded. It examines
traditional criteria for death and various formulations of the
concept of death in both medical literature and philosophical
texts. Definitions of 'brain death' - some of which have become
statute law - are critically examined. The author also examines
ethical and social policy questions which arise out of attempts to
redefine the boundaries of life.
