Abstract

Determining and defining human death in age of life-sustaining technologies is a matter of controversy and touch on some of society’s deepest human questions. A great part of controversy seem to be caused by an imprecise, ambiguous, confusing and misleading use of terms. Medical literature in English language and web sites in Italian language concerning human death, organ donation and transplantation have been studied. We have found a deep gap between medical use of some terms and their common use.
