Abstract

Brain death in non donator: when turn off the equipment?

Bioethical dilemma inherent to brain death in non-donator patient is present in physician’s daily routine, and it is susceptible to all sort of questioning: from ethical ity and legal ity to moral and rel igious rules. In view of Medical
legal regulations, supported by CFM Resolution 1,826/07 and by Medical Ethic Code, it is physician’s competence for the ethical decision to suspend therapeutical supporting
procedures before determination of brain death of a non-donator individual.
