Hey everyone. I have a question about the ethics of organ donation. Many people do not agree as to when exactly death occurs. Some people say it is when the heart and lungs stop working. Others say it is when total brain death occurs. However, if I understand things correctly, some organs become unusable by the time total brain death occurs. So, what would be the most ethical and moral thing to do concerning organ donation? Would it be more moral to not donate rather than risk the fact that someone is accidentally killed by removing a vital organ before they are actually dead? What do you think?
