Abstract:
In recent years, organ donation has developed rapidly in China, whereas the brain death criteria have not been confirmed by relevant legislation. In this article, the current legislation situation of brain death criteria at home and abroad, and the current criteria for determination of death for organ donation after citizen's death in China were introduced. The necessity of legislation of brain death criteria in China was discussed from the perspective of organ donation, and suggestions on the form and content of brain death criteria legislation were proposed based on the actual national conditions, aiming to provide reference for the legislation of brain death criteria.
