term and definition:  There are many. Nomenclature varies according to time, country, and convenience. Did you know that "brain-death" is a controversial term in the medical profession to signify "real" death. Why? Families of patients resist ideation of death's finality ... resistance hinders timely organ harvest.

Filed in "bio-ethics": informed consent. I have a few books in my stacks that are somewhat dated. I got them, while researching subject matter pertaining to so-called best practices in "knowledge management."

Thank you for responding.
