Abstract
I 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.
