What will be an ideal response?
In 2010, the American Academy of Neurology proposed new guidelines for determining brain death (Wijdicks et al., 2010). The goal in this revision of the criteria was to provide guidelines that were based on research.According to the guidelines, there are three signs that a person's brain has permanently stopped functioning. First, the person is in a coma, and the cause of the coma is known. Second, all brainstem reflexes have permanently stopped working. Third, breathing has permanently stopped, so that a ventilator, or breathing machine, must be used to keep the body functioning
