“…According to Al-Bar, the High Committee on Brain Death in Saudi Arabia expressed reservations about DCDD protocols because cessation of neurological, cardiovascular, and respiratory functions may be reversible at the time organs are procured. 67 In order to properly weigh in on the DCDD debate, it would be worthwhile for Islamic jurists to consider the difference between physiological irreversibility (or permanent cessation) and practical irreversibility (or irreversible cessation) in the context of declaring cardiac death. 68 Physiological irreversibility refers to the incapacity of the heart to autoresuscitate or to be restarted by means of clinical intervention.…”

Donation after circulatory determination of death (DCDD) and xenotransplantation are advanced as possible solutions to the growing gap between the number of individuals in need of organ transplantation and the pool of donors. Investigating how various publics, including religious leaders, might view these "therapies" is essential for broad public and professional support and will be needed in order to make these solutions viable. This study, therefore, presents normative Islamic bioethical perspectives on donation after circulatory determination of death and xenotransplantation. First, we will discuss foundational Islamic ethico-legal debates regarding organ donation. These debates can be grouped into three broad positions, those who consider organ donation categorically impermissible as a violation of human dignity (ḥurma and karāma), those who agree that organ donation is impermissible in principle, but allow it conditionally on the basis of dire necessity (ḍarūra), and those who permit organ donation based on notions of public interest (maṣlaḥa). Next, we will reflect upon the additional ethical dimensions DCDD and xenotransplantation add to these debates. We contend that the condition of minimal harm to the donor and the definition of death need to be accounted for within Islamic perspectives on DCDD. Xenotransplantation, on the other hand, highlights concerns about using pigs for therapeutic purposes. We conclude by commenting on additional questions that remain to be addressed in the Islamic bioethical debate over these practices and with recommendations for further research.

Background To date, the recognized medical criteria for BD/DNC (brain death/death according to neurological criteria) in the USA (United States of America) are the 2010 AAN (American Academy of Neurology) standards for identification of the BD/DNC for adult age and the 2011 Society of Critical Care Medicine/Child Neurology Society/American Academy of Pediatrics standards for identification of BD/DNC in Pediatrics. Main body Though the definition of death should be constant between clinicians, hospitals, and nations to endorse that whoever is considered dead somewhere will not be regarded as alive in another place. This provoked the construction of the worldwide Brain Death Project that declared a global agreement report on the BD/DNC which is accredited by 5 international federations and 27 medical professional communities from all over the world. This review defines the essential requirements of BD/DNC, its assessment (including apnea test) on a clinical basis, usage of additional examinations, and the arguments for its definition worldwide. Conclusion A precise and unbiased methodology is necessary to issue error-free declarations of death by defining BD/DNC while considering local regulations and values. Practitioners must learn to be familiar with the current guidelines, and the contents of the WBDP (world Brain Death Project) standard, which announces an updated International Agreement Report on BD/DNC and certified by 5 International federations and 27 professional medical communities from all over the world.
