The debate on brain death is supposed to be over. The development of machines that could sustain the life functions of respiration and circulation forced society and the medical community to re-evaluate the traditional dernition, criteria, and tests of death. A dernition based on the permanent cessation of the flow of vital bodily fluids was no longer workable in an era of ventilators and a growing need for viable organs for transplant programs. The concept of brain death was first formally introduced by the Harvard Report (1968) and the efforts at creating a brain-based standard culminated with the report of the President's Commission for the Study of Ethical Problems and Medicine and Biomedical and Behavioral Research (1981) which recommended the adoption of a whole brain criterion of death.
