Resolve brain death issue in Iowa hearing request
In Des Moines the Iowa attorney general asks for a court hearing to resolve when death occurs after two year old Matthew Schrier was declared dead following extended life support. Doctors dispute brain death criteria while the law ties death to circulatory cessation unless life support masks brain function. The case raises broad questions about definitions, testimony from neurosurgeons and physicians, and whether to extend the hearing to obtain a full medical and legal record.
