Hi friends have you heard of brain death? If not let me tell you something about that…. According to doctors, nearly 20 percent of the road accidents victims may be brain dead.
Brain Death is an irreversible loss of consciousness in which the brain completely losses all functions. It may also be called irreversible coma. Brain Death is now a legal definition of death. The medical community can cite brain death to declare a person legally dead even if life support equipment keeps the body’s metabolic process working. The first nation to adopt brain death as a legal definition of death was Finland in 1971. Brain Death can occur because of a disease or injury that creates swelling in the brain. The heart still beats, but the brain fails to function, so the victim cannot breathe without respirator, this is the symptom of brain death. There is no treatment to reverse brain death. Death usually occurs if the patient is taken of the respirator.
