"Brain Death", ([Blood] Donor-news, vol.22, nr. 37, p. 5. "The Ethics Council supports transplantation, and acceptance of their proposal will mean that doctors can also remove organs from persons that are legally alive." (from the Danish) The Council wishes that a person can themselves indicate at what point - brain death, heart stoppage, or cessation of breathing - they wish to be considered dead for the purposes of transplantation. This flexibility has some obvious advantages for cryonics patients. David S.
