Bioethics 19, no. 1 (2005): 29-48.1467-8519https://hdl.handle.net/1805/3446Post-printI will review higher-brain and whole-brain death from the standpoint of Thomas Aquinas’s metaphysical understanding of human nature. I will critique arguments for higher-brain death being a proper interpretation of Aquinas’s views and make a case for whole-brain death to be compatible with Aquinas’s account of human death given current biological data.en-USbodydeathsoulAquinasmetaphysicsArticle
