Abstract

Efforts to revise the Uniform Determination of Death Act in order to align law with medical practice have failed. Medical practice must now align with the law. People who are not dead under the law that defines death should not be declared dead. There is no compelling reason to continue the practice of declaring legally living persons to be dead.

统一死亡判定法》不会改变。医生会继续误诊脑死亡吗?
为使法律与医疗实践相一致而修订《统一死亡判定法》的努力已经失败。现在,医疗实践必须与法律保持一致。根据定义死亡的法律,未死亡的人不应被宣布死亡。没有令人信服的理由继续将合法活着的人宣布为死亡。
