[Avodah] "Brain death" as a halachic criterion for death

[T613K at aol.com]

From: Saul Mashbaum  <saul.mashbaum at gmail.com>
>>>
This long essay mentions that  almost all poskim who oppose "brain death" as
a halachic criterion  nevertheless say that it is permissible to accept an
organ which was  harvested  on the basis of "brain death". ....>>

. The article  in question states:

>>

Rav Auerbach originally ruled so  strongly against reliance on brain death
that he even prohibited receiving an  organ from a brain dead patient, even
though the prospective recipient would  die and there were other patients
ready and able to accept this organ in his  place

But R' Auerbach later changed his mind?
