Descriere
Critical analysis of the moral soundness of the "brain death" and "controlled cardiac/circulatory death" protocols used in organ transplantation. Analyzes the rationales supporting these new definitions of death, and argues against them, showing that they contradict both Aristotelian-Thomistic metaphysics and contemporary biophilosophy.
