Hello everyone, welcome to a new episode of The Decenter. I'm your host, Ricardo Lopes, and today I'm joined by Dr. L. C. Dem Johnson.
She's a philosopher, bioethicist, and neuroethicist and associate professor of bioethics and humanities at Sunni Upstate Medical University. Her research focuses on ethical issues related to brain injuries, including sport-related neurotrauma. brain deaf and disorders of consciousness and today we're focusing on her book Philosophical, Medical and Legal Controversies about Brain Death. So Dr. Johnson, welcome to the show.
It's a pleasure to have you one. Thank you. I'm happy to be here. So I mean I know that this is a multifaceted question, but to get uh to get into the topic of brain death, perhaps it would be better for us to start with what death is or how we understand death, just common people how they understand it and also philosophers, doctors and people like that.
