This document summarizes an academic presentation on ongoing legal attacks against the concept of brain death. It outlines 4 main attacks: 1) Requests for religious exemptions to brain death criteria. 2) Arguments that clinician consent is required for brain death testing. 3) Claims that accepted medical criteria do not fully determine death. 4) Assertions that brain dead individuals still exhibit biological functions. The presenter concludes there is a need to revise the Uniform Determination of Death Act to reduce variability and increase certainty and trust regarding brain death.
