three cases of heart transplantation from infants who were pronounced
dead on the basis of cardiac criteria. The three Perspective articles
and a video roundtable discussion at www.nejm.org address key ethical
aspects of organ donation after cardiac death. Bernat and Veatch
comment on the cases described by Boucek et al.; Truog and Miller
raise a fundamental question about the dead donor rule. In a related
Perspective roundtable, moderator Atul Gawande, of Harvard Medical
School, is joined by George Annas, of the Boston University School of
Public Health; Arthur Caplan, of the University of Pennsylvania; and
Robert Truog. Watch the roundtable online at www.nejm.org.
