  • Seeking an ethical and legal way of procuring transplantable organs from the dying without further attempts to redefine human death.David Wainwright Evans - 2007 - Philosophy, Ethics, and Humanities in Medicine 2:11.
    Because complex organs taken from unequivocally dead people are not suitable for transplantation, human death has been redefined so that it can be certified at some earlier stage in the dying process and thereby make viable organs available without legal problems. Redefinitions based on concepts of.
