"Brain stem death" is a closely defined but time intensive way of diagnosing death. It is not open to misdiagnosis when the full protocols are followed correctly. The patient must be treated to the best of the medical team's ability until he is declared to be dead by fully following written protocols, and then only after that the completely independent transplant teams should become involved.

The problem comes when avarice allows shortcuts and pure criminality to override Medicine.

This is one of the big reasons why I did not become involved with organ transplantation despite the huge benefits of the speciality for society.
