The physician-patient relationship has suffered because doctors are being trained to see people with severe brain injuries as 'good as dead,' rather than valuing their humanity.
'Brain death' survivors prove that the diagnosis can be made in error, and that using these people for medical experimentation on this basis is ethically unjustified.
Using the controversial NRP-cDCD method, doctors are able to harvest patients’ organs after removing life support and while the patient is considered ‘brain-dead,’ despite the potential for cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Since brain death determinations lead to organ donation or a withdrawal of life-sustaining measures, therefore a determination of brain death, when the person isn't brain dead, will almost certainly result in death.
