abstract="Controversy in Japan over brain death as a legal criterion of death has been heightened by a murder complaint lodged against three physicians who transplanted organs from a patient without brain activity but with a heartbeat. This legal action is likely to hasten the program initiated earlier this year by the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare to build a consensus for public acceptance of brain death. Meanwhile, a Life Ethics Problem Study Parliamentarians League composed of legislators, lawyers, doctors, and government officials will ascertain the necessity for a new law on criteria of death.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
