Hospitals vary widely in determining brain death

If they cannot even get agreement on this one moment in life, how can you believe them to have any real knowledge of the lifelong effects of their diet drugs and surgeries?

"Guidelines for determining brain death differ substantially between major U.S. hospitals, a national survey shows, and few stick to parameters established by the American Academy of Neurology...

Commenting on this "'disturbing pattern of non-uniformity,' Dr. James L. Berna from Dartmouth Medical School in Hannover, New Hampshire, writes in an editorial that current guidelines also need to be updated."

More support for the conclusion that if you think they have any idea of how their drugs and surgeries really affect you, you are brain dead.

Maybe that should be the test used.
