Abstract

More than half a century has passed since an ad hoc committee at the Harvard Medical School published its landmark report in 1968, defining brain death as death in the United States. Over this period, advances in neuroscience and intensive care technology have revealed scientific flaws and inappropriate definitions associated with the concept of brain death. Nevertheless, the diagnosis of brain death signifies a poor prognosis and remains clinically significant as an indicator of the need for end-of-life care. In such care, it is essential to respect the individual's wishes, including organ donation, and provide family care from the family's perspective. Thus, it is important to recognize the differences between the foundational spirits of Western countries and those of Japan.
