The Ontario Brain Death Disputes
Is brain death a biomedical concept or a philosophical concept?
Should society accept multiple definitions of death, tailored to the values, wishes, and beliefs of individuals?
Does freedom of religion guarantee an individual right to the use of a definition of death consistent with religious beliefs?
How should clinicians respond to the June 26, 2018 ruling in McKitty v. Hayani, ruling against the McKitty family’s challenge to the concept of brain death.
