An individual who has sustained either (1) irreversible cessation of circulatory and respiratory functions, or (2) irreversible cessation of all functions of the entire brain, including the brain stem, is dead. A determination of death must be made in ance with accepted medical standards.
What is euthanasia? Euthanasia is the practice of ending the life of a patient to limit the patients suffering. The patient in question would typically be terminally ill or experiencing great pain and suffering.
Clinical death is the medical term for cessation of blood circulation and breathing, the two criteria necessary to sustain the lives of human beings and of many other organisms. It occurs when the heart stops beating in a regular rhythm, a condition called cardiac arrest.
Hospice care brings together a team of people with special skills among them nurses, doctors, social workers, spiritual advisors, and trained volunteers. Everyone works together with the person who is dying, the caregiver, and/or the family to provide the medical, emotional, and spiritual support needed.
The common law standard for determining death is the cessation of all vital functions, traditionally demonstrated by an absence of spontaneous respiratory and cardiac functions. There is, then, a potential disparity between current and accepted biomedical practice and the common law.

People also ask

Two categories of legal death are death determined by irreversible cessation of heartbeat (cardiopulmonary death), and death determined by irreversible cessation of functions of the brain (brain death).
The legal definition appears as an inclusive concept, involving cessation of all vital functions, cessation of respiration, cessation of circulation, and impossibility of resuscitation.
Death is defined by 2 states: 1. irreversible cessation of electrical activity in the whole brain, including the brain stem OR. 2. irreversible cessation of respiratory and circulatory functions.
