The Doctors Who Are Redefining Life and Death

Washington Post, by William Saletan

Think being the next president would be a brutal job? Imagine being a transplant surgeon. You can’t tell the parents of a dying kid when to pull the plug, but you have to be there, ready, the minute he expires. You have to wait until he’s dead, but not so long that his organs become useless. You can give him drugs to keep his organs healthy, but you mustn’t technically revive him. And you can’t remove and restart his heart until it’s been declared kaput.
