Il dibattito sulla determinazione della morte è legato ancora oggi alla questione dei trapianti d'organo. L'excursus storico mostra come, a partire dalla definizione di "coma dèpassè" di Mollaret e Goulon nel1959 e di "irreversible coma" dell"'Ad hoc Committee of the Harvard Medical School" del 1968, si sia introdotta non solo tra le categorie mediche e professionali, ma anche nella quasi totalità delle legislazioni nazionali la concezione della "morte cerebrale" come sufficiente e necessaria per il prelievo degli organi "ex cadavere" per i trapianti. Questa rassegna mostra pure la differenziazione tra la concezione della "whole brain death", sostenuta dalla President's Cormmission e dalla maggioranza delle nazioni europee e di altri contesti geografici e culturali, e la concezione della "brain stem death", codificata nel Regno Unito, in Canada ed in Australia.
