Quinlan death definition disputed by ABA official
St Louis attorney Edward Warner who led the ABA medicine and law committee says the official death definition does not apply to Karen Ann Quinlan. He notes death requires total cessation of all brain functions, including brain stem activity, and describes cases where respiration and circulation persist with artificial support. Warner cites similar litigation over unplugging life support and notes differing determinations of death based on brain activity.
