One might argue that they would not have encountered this medical, ethical, legal quandary if concept stem death adopted accepted universally as opposed death, is currently criterion United States. Electrocerebral inactivity or electrocerebral silence a defined no activity over 2 uV when recording from scalp electrode pairs 10 more cm apart interelectrode impedances under 10,000 Ohms (10 KOhms) 100 Ohms. It well-known fact pockets may persist who (all reflexes absent apnea test positive) dead. These islands yield …
