Summary
In 1959, shortly after the invention of positive pressure ventilation, Pierre Mollaret and Maurice Goulon published the first description of what would eventually be referred to as “brain death” in their manuscript “Le Coma Depassé.”1,2 Nearly a decade later, a committee commissioned by Harvard Medical School expanded on Mollaret and Goulon’s work and described their acceptance of the use of neurologic criteria to declare death when a person is unreceptive and unresponsive, does not move or breathe, has absent reflexes, and has an isoelectric electroencephalogram.2,3 In the ensuing 50 years, the use of neurologic criteria to declare death has become medically and legally accepted as death throughout much of the world.4,5
