Among the many and varied proposals for revising the criteria for human death, we will focus on those that advocate allowing people to choose their own definition and criteria for death within a range of reasonable or tolerable alternatives. These proposals can be categorized under the rubric of pluralism in the determination of death. In this article, we will outline the main proposals and their rationales and provide a current overview of the state of the controversy.}, organization = {MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 (PID2020-118729RB-I00)}, organization = {Spain’s Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (PID2020-119717GA-100)}, publisher = {Elsevier}, keywords = {Pluralismo}, keywords = {Muerte}, keywords = {Autonomía}, keywords = {Bioética}, keywords = {Pluralism}, keywords = {Death}, keywords = {Autonomy}, keywords = {Bioethics}, keywords = {Muerte cerebral}, keywords = {Brain death}, keywords = {Death determination}, keywords = {Laws}, keywords = {Health policy}, title = {Pluralism in the determination of death}, doi = {10.1016/j.cobeha.2024.101373}, author = {Díaz Cobacho, Gonzalo and Molina Pérez, Alberto}, }
