Transplantation in Denmark

According to Flemming Gjerris, (1990). "Brain Death", ([Blood] Donor-news,
vol.22, nr. 37, p. 5.
"The Ethics Council supports transplantation, and acceptance of their proposal
will mean that doctors can also remove organs from persons that are legally
alive." (from the Danish)

The Council wishes that a person can themselves indicate at what point - brain
death, heart stoppage, or cessation of breathing - they wish to be considered
dead for the purposes of transplantation. 

This flexibility has some obvious advantages for cryonics patients.
