Neurology does not ordinarily reprint articles that have been published in other journals. However, because the American Academy of Neurology Executive Committee has endorsed “Guidelines for the Determination of Death: Report of the Medical Consultants on the Diagnosis of Death to the President’s Commission for the Study of Ethical Problems in Medicine and Biomedical and Behavioral Research” and the criteria for the determination of death will be discussed a t the AAN Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C., the article is reprinted here.
