Statement in Support of Revising the Uniform Determination of Death Act and in Opposition to a Proposed Revision

D. Alan Shewmon

Summary: Discrepancies between the Uniform Determination of Death Act (UDDA) and the adult and pediatric diagnostic guidelines for brain death (BD) have led to proposals for revising the UDDA. The proposed revision called RUDDA has attracted attention, but 107 experts agree that it is not the right approach. They highlight the risks of false-positive errors in the guidelines, the importance of hypothalamic function, and the unnecessary and potentially harmful nature of the apnea test. They also stress the need to respect individuals' judgments and beliefs regarding the concept of death.

Amanda van Beinum et al.

Summary: Neurologic determination of death is legally accepted as death in Canada, but requests for continued organ support post-NDD can lead to conflicts and legal challenges.
