Organ donation is always a universal good... right? This conversation is the type that has the potential to completely challenge previously held beliefs. Are brain-dead patients TRULY brain dead? Are the organs being harvested from someone who REALLY has no life left in them? Heidi Klessig, MD, tells us her own story and how she came to have her own beliefs challenged, and explains why she is now dedicated to the informed consent of all registered organ donors, those considering donating their organs, their families, and the recipients of transplanted organs. The question we all really need to ask is... When is somebody truly dead?

Dr. Adam Schiavi is an assistant professor of anesthesiology and critical care medicine and neurology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. His areas of clinical expertise include anesthesiology, neurological critical care, disorders of consciousness and brain death diagnosis, clinical ethics, critical care medicine, and traumatic brain injury. In this episode, Therese Markow and Dr. Adam Schiavi discuss how the definition of death has changed throughout history, what the current definition is, and how that is determined by the medical technology of the time. Brain death is the current definition of death, medically, but what happens to a body after brain death is determined can vary depending on the state you live in. This can be a trying time for families and for the providers involved with the now-deceased patient as the definition of death is not understood by everyone. They also discuss how brain death differs from other states of consciousness and how people often confuse the terminology of those different states, as well as the ability to hope for healing from all but brain death.  Key Takeaways: The total cessation of all functions of the brain is the current definition of brain death in the United States. This definition is based on a clinical exam testing all parts of the brain, typically done by somebody certified in doing brain death determinations. You have to have a reason for the neurologic exam to be declining. Without a reason, you can't call somebody brain dead. You can replace every organ in the body, but you cannot replace the brain and when the brain dies, the body dies all the time 100% unless those organ systems are artificially supportive.  "Our culture changes with technology and the way we define death is a part of culture. As that culture has shifted, the way we define death has also shifted with our new technologies of how we can actually determine whether people are dead." —  Dr. Adam Schiavi Connect with Dr. Adam Schiavi: Johns Hopkins Bio: Adam Schiavi, MD, PhD, MS    Email: aschiav1@jhmi.edu Connect with Therese: Website: www.criticallyspeaking.net Threads: @critically_speaking Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

We've talked about Brain Death before with Robert (Bob) Troug and guest-host Liz Dzeng, and in many ways today's podcast is a follow up to that episode (apologies Bob for mispronouncing your last name on today's podcast!). Why does this issue keep coming up?  Why is it unresolved?  Today we put these questions to Winston Chiong, a neurologist and bioethicist, and Sean Aas, a philosopher and bioethicist.  We talk about many reasons and ways forward on this podcast, including: The ways in which advancing technology continually forces us to re-evaluate what it means to be dead - from the ability of cells/organs to revive, to a future in which organs can be grown, to uploading our consciousness to an AI.  (I briefly mention the Bobiverse series by Denise Taylor - a science fiction series about an uploaded consciousness that confronts the reader with a  re-evaluation of what it means to be human, or deserving of moral standing). The moral questions at stake vs the biologic questions (and links between them) The pressures the organ donation placers on this issue, and questioning if this is the dominant consideration (as Winston notes, organ donation was not central to the Jahi McMath story) What we argue about when we argue about death - the title of a great recent paper from Sean - which argues that “we must define death in moralized terms, as the loss of a significant sort of moral standing,” - noting that those why are “dead” have something to gain - the ability to donate their organs to others. Winston's paper on the “fuzziness” around all definitions of brain death, titled, Brain Death without Definitions. As we joke about at the start - talking with philosophers and bioethicists, you almost always get a response along the lines of, “well that's a good question, but let's examine a deeper more fundamental question.”  Today is no different. And the process of identifying the right questions to ask is absolutely the best place to start.   Eventually, of course, everything must cease.   -@AlexSmithMD

In the area of Jewish medical ethics brain death is the topic which just will not die. With the advent of technologies and medical developments since the mid-twentieth century, questions about the halakhic definition of death have gone from the largely theoretical (and philosophical) to painfully practical for physicians, patients, and their families. Perhaps no other rabbinic figure's opinion has factored in quite so significantly on the subject as R. Moshe Feinstein zt”l, the preeminent posek of the last century. However, the contours and applications of R. Feinstein's position have been intensely debated. In a recent piece of research that surfaces some relevant new points of evidence, Dr. Noam Stadlan offers a re-understanding of R. Feinstein's ruling, arguing that he defined death as irreversible apneic coma, without regard for the continued presence of heart function. This has various significant implications for end-of-life care and organ donation. In this episode of the Tradition Podcast, Stadlan joins our editor, Jeffrey Saks, to discuss the article, as well as larger trends in the field of Jewish medical ethics, the partnership that should exist between physicians and medical research on one hand with poskim on the other, and why our readers are perennially interested in the field of medical halakha. Read Noam Stadlan, “Revisiting R. Moshe Feinstein's Definition of Death” (TRADITION, Winter 2024): https://traditiononline.org/revisiting-r-moshe-feinsteins-definition-of-death Noam Stadlan, M.D., is Vice-Chairman of the Department of Neurosurgery at NorthShore University HealthSystem, Evanston, IL.

LifeSiteNews' John-Henry Westen sits down with Dr. Paul Byrne, a neonatologist and an outspoken critic of the concept of ‘brain death' and its exploitation by Big Pharma.Dr. Byrne explains the troubling concept of ‘brain death,' which he says is medically and philosophically flawed. He argues that it was created to facilitate organ transplantation from otherwise living human beings – in other words, organ harvesting. This is a crime against the natural moral law.In fact, Death is understood to have set in when the body starts to decompose. This definitely isn't so for a person who is only ‘brain-dead,' and can still have very many signs of life. Further, in Dr. Byrne's own experience, even those who have been declared ‘brain-dead' have later shown signs of ‘brain-life.'Organ donation sounds like a great gift for the world at first, but the implications are much more concerning. Dr. Byrne discusses these implications with John-Henry, whilst also touching on the legal aspects of ‘brain death' and the influence of ‘Big Pharma.'Dr. Byrne sets out powerful ways in which you can protect yourself and your loved ones, including getting educated on the importance of informed consent and legal protections, and the various points at which you need to opt out of organ donation – that is, if you want to avoid organs being harvested whilst you or your loved ones are still alive.Download the all-new LSNTV App now, available on iPhone and Android!LSNTV Apple Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/lsntv/id6469105564 LSNTV Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lifesitenews.app ****SHOP ALL YOUR FUN AND FAVORITE LIFESITE MERCH! https://shop.lifesitenews.com/ +++Connect with John-Henry Westen and all of LifeSiteNews on social media:LifeSite: https://linktr.ee/lifesitenews John-Henry Westen: https://linktr.ee/jhwesten Hosted on Acast.

The purpose of informed consent, as it exists now, is primarily to maintain patient autonomy, but additional benefits include the protection of patients, avoidance of fraud, and promotion of rational decisions, amongst others. It is now considered both an ethical and legal obligation which should, at a minimum, always include: 1) the nature of the procedure, 2) the risks and benefits of the procedure, 3) reasonable alternatives, and 4) risks and benefits of alternatives, with an assessment of comprehension of these elements (1). This week Dr Lauren Koffman is joined by Clotilde Balucani, MD and Julia Durrant, MD two of the authors of the recent Currents article Consent for Brain Death Determination - the ends justify the means... or it does not.

Hour 1 of The Drew Mariani Show on 4-18-24 Drew takes us through a number of headlines in the News Roundup Father Tad Pacholczyk joins us from The National Catholic Bioethics Center (ncbcenter.org) to help us answer questions around brain death and organ donation

On this episode of The Open Door (April 17th), panelists Jim Hanink, Mario Ramos-Reyes, and Valerie Niemeyer discuss medical ethics. Our focus will be the debate about the criteria for brain death. Our special guest is John A. Di Camillo, PhD, BeL. He is an Ethicist and the Personal Consultations Director at The National Catholic Bioethics Center (NCBC). He manages its 24/7 free ethics consultation service as well as the Personal Consultations Fellows and Interns Program. He applies Catholic moral theology to science and medicine through research, writing, speaking, mentoring, and fielding hundreds of ethics questions every year. His areas of focus include cooperation with evil, sexual orientation and gender identity, reproductive technologies, and pregnancy complications. Among the questions we'll ask are the following. Please feel free to suggest your own.What is Catholics United on Brain Death and Organ Donation about? What were the goals of writing it and seeking endorsements for it?Why is there no moral certainty of death when following the American Academy of Neurology guidelines for a determination of brain death?What is ongoing hypothalamic function? Is it compatible with brain death? What would be the effect of improved clinical guidelines that require cessation of hypothalamic function?Should patients expect that the existing American Academy of Neurology guidelines—or something even less rigorous—will be applied in practice? Is there a reasonable expectation that the existing guidelines will be improved in the near future?Does a person considering organ donation have good reason to expect that he or she will be truly dead at the time of vital organ procurement?Given that we must presume life until death is certain, and given the lack of moral certainty of death whenever the current brain death criteria are used, can we still assume that a majority of vital organ donors are deceased at the time of organ harvesting?Is it wise, at this time, to decline organ donor status at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) upon first receiving a driver's license? To revoke organ donor status through the appropriate channel in one's state?Should we advocate for the right of patients and health care professionals to conscientiously object to the use of the current brain death criteria for a determination of death?How can we best highlight the Church's teaching on the need for moral certainty of death as a condition for vital organ procurement?What do you hope will happen next, now that Catholics United has been published?

When does life truly end? It's a question that echoes through the halls of medical institutions and tugs at the heartstrings of families facing loss. Dr. Doyen Nguyen, a pathologist with a rich background in bioethics, joins us to unravel the complexities of brain death—a concept that has reshaped our understanding of mortality and sparked an ongoing debate in both medical and ethical spheres. Her penetrating insights challenge the status quo and provide a fresh perspective on what it means to be truly alive or dead.As we navigate the turbulent waters of medical definitions and ethical dilemmas, Dr. Nguyen steers us through the history and evolution of death's criteria, starting from the time-honored signs of heart and respiratory cessation to the contemporary, yet contentious, concept of brain death. This journey is not just clinical; it's laden with the emotional gravity of real-life stories, such as the heart-wrenching narrative of a mother's regret after her son's organs were donated following a brain death diagnosis. These stories underscore the profound impact of medical categorizations on individuals and their loved ones, emphasizing the necessity for clear communication and informed consent in the process of organ donation.Stepping beyond the confines of conventional healthcare, our conversation with Dr. Nguyen illuminates the intersections where medicine meets faith, ethics, and the essence of human existence. Our exploration extends an invitation to listeners to engage with these critical questions and to join us on a path that transcends the physical, touching the spiritual and emotional dimensions of well-being.

Brain death is one of the most controversial and ethically complex topics in neurology, but it's a regular part of our clinical practice. Late last year, a new set of guidelines was published that address some of the thorniest technical and ethical issues in the clinical determination of brain death. For this discussion, we are joined by Dr. Ariane Lewis, a professor in the departments of Neurology and Neurosurgery, as well as the director of the Division of Neurocritical Care at NYU Langone Medical Center, and Dr. Matthew Kirschen, an assistant professor of Anesthesiology and Critical Care at the hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. They were interviewed by Dr. Masoom Desai of the University of New Mexico.

Nick Lane visits Google to discuss his new book “Transformer: The Deep Chemistry of Life and Death.” What brings the Earth to life, and our own lives to an end? For decades, biology has been dominated by the study of genetic information. Information is important, but it is only part of what makes us alive. Our inheritance also includes our living metabolic network, a flame passed from generation to generation, right back to the origin of life. In Transformer, biochemist Nick Lane reveals a scientific renaissance that is hiding in plain sight —how the same simple chemistry gives rise to life and causes our demise. Lane reveals the beautiful, violent world of the Krebs cycle, where hydrogen atoms within our cells are stripped from the carbon skeletons of food and fed to the ravenous beast of oxygen. Yet this same cycle, spinning in reverse, also created the chemical building blocks that enabled the emergence of life on our planet. Now it does both. How can the same pathway create and destroy? What might our study of the Krebs cycle teach us about the mysteries of aging and the hardest problem of all, consciousness? Transformer unites the story of our planet with the story of our cells—what makes us the way we are, and how it connects us to the origin of life. Enlivened by Lane's talent for distilling and humanizing complex research, Transformer offers an essential read for anyone fascinated by biology's great mysteries.

Today, Dr. Pradip Kamat (Children's Healthcare of Atlanta/Emory University School of Medicine) and Dr. Rahul Damania (Cleveland Clinic Children's Hospital), are excited to speak with Matthew Kirschen, MD, PhD, FAAN, FNCS, regarding a very sensitive topic involving pediatric brain death guidelines published in 'Neurology' in October 2023. Dr. Matthew Kirschen, a leader in pediatric neurocritical care and one of the authors of the new guidelines.Guest Introduction:Dr. Matthew Kirschen is an Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine, Pediatrics, and Neurology at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. A proud alumnus of Brandeis University and Stanford, where he secured both his MD and PhD in neuroscience. Dr. Kirschen's journey includes a residency at Stanford followed by a unique dual fellowship in neurology and pediatric critical care at CHOP. Notably, he's among the rare professionals dual-boarded in both PCCM and Neurology.Dr. Kirschen's tireless endeavors in pediatric neuro-critical care, especially his work on multimodal neuro-monitoring to detect and prevent brain injuries in critically ill children, have garnered significant attention. His expertise also extends to predicting recovery post-severe brain injuries. Pertinent to today's discussion, Dr. Kirschen has displayed a keen interest in the precise diagnosis of brain death and proudly stands as one of the authors of the new guidelines on the topic of Pediatric and Adult Brain death/death by neurologic criteria.Discussion:1. Understanding Brain Death Criteria:Brain Death/Death by Neurologic Criteria (BD/DNC) declared with permanent cessation of all brain functions, including brainstemImportant considerations before BD/DNC determination:No evaluation in infants < 37 weeks corrected gestational ageAbsence of coma, intact brainstem reflexes, and spontaneous breathing inconsistent with BD/DNC2. Who Can Perform BD/DNC Evaluations:Attending clinicians must be credentialed and trained in BD/DNC evaluation.Two attending clinicians are needed for evaluation, with exceptions for advanced practice providers.3. Prerequisites for BD/DNC Determination:Importance of identifying the etiology of BD/DNC to avoid reversible processesObservation periods based on age and type of brain injuryMaintaining core body temperature before evaluation4. Blood Pressure Management:Hypotension can lead to impermanent coma; clinicians should manage with fluids or vasopressors.Specific blood pressure targets for different ECMO support types5. Medication Considerations:Excluding...

In the 1960s, death itself was “redefined” to justify harvesting valued organs such as a heart or lungs while the patient was still alive. One could now be declared “brain dead” while their organs were still functional, but is brain death death? Dr. Heidi Klessig's new book “The Brain Death Fallacy” seeks an answer.

In this episode, Matt sits down with Christos Lazaridis (University of Chicago Medicine) to chat about what brain death is and whether brain death should count as, like, death death.Modern life support technology really hits its stride in the 1960s, allowing doctors to buy themselves more time to save their patients by connecting them to machines that can assist with breathing, blood oxygenation and/or heart pumping. But the flipside to that incredible technological breakthrough was that the medical community now needed to get more precise about the moment at which a person goes from being alive to being dead. After all, what had previously been a quick window between the two was now, due to life support technology, happening in extreme slow motion. In addition, organ transplanation was becoming more and more commonplace, meaning that it was no longer as simple as saying e.g. ‘I count someone as dead just in case their heart has stopped.'By the early 80s, the United States had settled on a standard definition for when someone counts as dead, which states that a person is dead if they have either permanently lost consciousness or permanently lost the ability to breathe and pump blood with their heart. That criterion makes certain life-saving practices possible; for example, it legally feasible for organ transplantation to begin once a patient has fallen into an irreversible coma, provided they agreed to donate their organs in advance.But should a person really count as dead just because they fell into an irreversible coma? We call that condition ‘brain death', or sometimes the wordier ‘death by neurological criteria', and we legally count it as a full death. Critics of the notion of brain death say that it should not count as death, because a person in this condition is still biologically alive. Their argument is that saying a person in this condition is dead is just a story we're telling ourselves.In this episode, Christos Lazaridis—who is a practicing neurointensivist—argues that even if that is a story we're telling ourselves, that's fine, because this is a corner case in which it makes sense for the social/legal status of being dead to come apart from the biological status of being dead. Tune in to hear why he thinks this is the case! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
