How does one 'recruit' the 'clinically dead'?
After all, if their 'central nervous system' needs to be brought to back to life, how can it possibly comprehend the concept of consenting to an experimental procedure?
Not that this means the experiment shouldn't be done ... only that it shouldn't be framed in such unctuous ethical nonsense.
As an aside, excellent use of the word “unctuous”.
Wouldn’t that be done through next of kin?
