Date: 17 Jul 92 09:56:55 GMT References: <> In article <> (Nick Szabo) writes: What jurisdictions (wether local, state, nation, etc.) have the most flexible legal definitions of death? For examplee, do there exist jurisdictions where Dr. Jack Kavorkian's "assisted suicide" is legal? Do there exist jurisdictions that still use definitions like lack of breathing or cardiac arrest, instead of brain death? The Netherlands allows doctors to provide drugs to assist in the painless death of terminally ill people, under certain circumstances and if the patient requests it. -- Andy Ormsby Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=1017
