Features: The issue of brain death has always been a sensitive and frequently debated topic among medical, ethical, and legal communities in various countries. Since the United States introduced the "Harvard Standard of Brain Death," many countries around the world have established laws on brain death. However, the theoretical approaches to brain death and brain death laws have not stopped evolving. This book is the first legal work dedicated to the legislative aspects of brain death. The authors begin by exploring the concept and significance of death, systematically examining numerous legal issues arising from the legislative processes of brain death both domestically and internationally. These include the legal protection of the rights of vegetative patients, as well as theoretical issues such as liability and institutional safeguards in the determination of brain death.
