Abstract

New technologies in medicine dramatically open a twilight-zone of ignorance between life and death. The argument shows that the present definition of brain death as the death of a human person is a convention with a specific philosophy behind. You will meet the problem with more accuracy when referring to an ethics of intransparence that allows an individual decision with respect to certain qualified conditions. Only from this starting-point the informed ex ante consent for an organ donation seems to become the only conclusive but at the same time justified decision.

[脑死亡和死亡学]。

医学上的新技术戏剧性地打开了生与死之间无知的模糊地带。该论点表明，目前将脑死亡定义为人的死亡是一种具有特定哲学背后的惯例。当提到不透明的伦理时，你会更准确地遇到这个问题，不透明的伦理允许个人在特定的条件下做出决定。只有从这个出发点出发，器官捐赠的事先知情同意似乎才成为唯一决定性的，同时也是合理的决定。
