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

strongly against reliance on brain death<BR>that he even prohibited receiving an
organ from a brain dead patient, even<BR>though the prospective recipient would
die and there were other patients<BR>ready and able to accept this organ in his
place<BR><BR>>><BR><BR>Saul Mashbaum</FONT></FONT></DIV>
