At the beginning of the procedure there are two living humans. At the end there is one. Explain to me why this is not killing one of them?
One, of course, must be declared brain dead, from some accident or other non-disease cause. They can keep the body ‘alive’ until the operation begins.....................
The donor body probably had it’s brains blown out or other similar traumatic head injury. That’s the crux of the problem though, not many people shoot themselves in the head in the ER...
Obviously the first person to undergo this procedure should really be someone who suffered accidental decapitation.
