For those who do not accept the criteria of brain-death , there would be a risk that their basic human rights would be violated through these experiments. This issue needs further clarification, which I can not discuss now . The WHO or other international organizations need to publicize their understandings of the definition of death, especially brain death, to avoid these kinds of conflicts and risks. My second point is related to psychological identity which should be emphasized more in discussions of brain death. These remarks are questionable in a sense.
People are the same in that they identify themselves within social environments.
For these reasons, psychological identity should be examined more carefully. The way in which people recognize death might be heavily influenced their psychological understanding of the idea of the self in their society. Many Asian cultures have distinct conceptions of individuality that insists on the fundamental relatedness of individuals to each other. The emphasis is attending to others, fitting in, and harmonious interdependence with them. American culture neither assumes nor values such an overt connected among individuals.
