"This is an excellent book. The editors have managed to put together contributions from some of the most influential thinkers in biomedical ethics in the United States, and some experts from other countries, making for an engaging and fascinating collection of short articles....If the book is occasionally hard to read, it is not because the writing is anything other than clear, but rather because the ideas themselves are so subtle and complicated....THE DEFINITION OF DEATH cautions both implicitly and explicitly against complacency and alerts readers to the immense ethical and clinical concerns about the meaning of death, its definition, and its determination."Youngner, Stuart J. is the author of 'Definition of Death Contemporary Controversies' with ISBN 9780801872297 and ISBN 0801872294.
