I see....

So the difficulty lies mostly within the area of stoke patients who have suffered a great deal of damage to their autonomic nervous systems, yet do not meet the criteria of brain death.

I don't know how many patients this would add up to, but it would be smaller than I had thought.

Would that be a vague but correct assumption? The experiences that I personally have gone through in this area were connected mostly to cancer patients who died from the Chemo and their organs were shot as a result.

If we are only talking about a very small number of people, then your idea of a strict protocol seems quite reasonable under the circumstances.

This has been my experience.
