摘要

关于确定我们死亡的定义和标准的争论大多集中在对死亡的正确生物学解释的分歧上,即任何生物体的死亡意味着什么。在本文中,我们认为这种只关注死亡生物学的观点是错误的,因为它忽视了伦理和社会因素,而这些因素对确定我们死亡的标准的可接受性产生了影响。我们建议将注意力从严格意义上的生物学因素转移到伦理和社会因素上,因为这些因素对确定我们所谓的 "民事死亡 "有影响。我们主张接受神经学标准来判定死亡,理由是这是综合生物、伦理和社会因素来判定我们死亡的最合理方式。

Defining Death: Toward a Biological and Ethical Synthesis.

Much of the debate over the definition and criteria for determining our death has focused on disagreement over the correct biological account of death, i.e., what it means for any organism to die. In this paper, we argue that this exclusive focus on the biology of death is misguided, because it ignores ethical and social factors that bear on the acceptability of criteria for determining our death. We propose that attention shift from strictly biological considerations to ethical and social considerations that bear on the determination of what we call "civil death." We argue for acceptance of a neurological criterion for determining death on grounds that it is the most reasonable way to synthesize biological, ethical, and social considerations about our death..
