Brain Death: Proceedings of the Second International on Brain Death, Havana, Cuba, February 27-March 1, 1996 (DEVELOPMENTS IN NEUROLOGY)

By Calixto Machado

Hardbound. Over the centuries people were deemed dead when they stopped breathing and when their hearts stopped beating. Technological advances, however, have faded the frontiers between life and death. In the first symposium on this issue of brain death, delegates from twenty-one countries attended to discuss many controversial issues concerning brain death and related issues. This book is based on the second international symposium on the subject, and reflects the work of several groups, commissions and networks within this field, reflecting the tremendous actuality of the subject. Prominent scientists, therefore, present a rich source of knowledge in this volume, which will contribute to the knowledge of this and future generations. Any reason to enlarge knowledge of death (and life) is very much a matter of human dignity.
