  Article:   ETHICAL CONFLICTS IN DECLARING DEATH CREBRALE.

Authors:  MIRCEA GELU BUTA, LILIANA BUTA.
 
       
         
  Abstract:  To claim that a person is dead only when the respiratory and cardiac functions have stopped, but in the absence of a real cerebral death, so that the vital organs can be extracted, can involve the death of that person. On the other hand, it exists at any level of society a reticence of defining „cerebral death” as death, just for the implications that this would have. Therefore, when a clear determination of death exists, it doesn’t have to be prohibited to the Orthodox Christians or their families to give their consent for such donations, even though they do this from love for others.
