(Michael Vacca / Catholic Journal) – “Brain death,” or death by neurological criteria is a legal fiction that is refuted by sound medicine, philosophy, and theology.
As I will substantiate in this paper and I substantiated in my previous paper in the Linacre Quarterly on the subject (Vacca, Michael Arthur, 2023, “The Moral Illicitness of Relying Solely on Neurological Criteria for the Determination of Death: A Catholic Response to ‘Brain Death.’”
The Linacre Quarterly, 90 (3), 260-272, 262), so called “brain death” or “death solely by neurological criteria” is a mere pretext for active euthanasia via organ harvesting. CONTINUE
