The recently announced pause by the Uniform Law Commission, which is spearheading revisions, is disappointing, the expert notes, but should not permanently stall practical fixes to longstanding problems with the Death Act.

Key Points: 
  • The recently announced pause by the Uniform Law Commission, which is spearheading revisions, is disappointing, the expert notes, but should not permanently stall practical fixes to longstanding problems with the Death Act.
  • Lewis says her survey results showed that 34 organizations (83%) favored revisions to the Death Act.
  • Uniform Determination of Death Act, which defined death as either the irreversible cessation of all brain or cardiopulmonary functions.
  • However, such loss of hormone function is not needed to be declared dead by brain criteria using current medical standards.
