Edward Green. Broken Promises. How the AIDS Establishment has Betrayed the Developing World. Con su libro de 2003 Repensar la prevención del sida, el investigador Edward Green puso sobre la mesa lo que estaba funcionando y lo que estaba fallando en la lucha contra el sida en África. Y lo que decía era una voz disonante en el coro de los que todo lo cifraban en la distribución de preservativos. Ahora, Green muestra en su nuevo libro Broken Promises(Promesas rotas) cómo “el AIDS establishment ha traicionado al mundo en desarrollo” al imponer unas estrategias equivocadas que renuncian a cambiar las conductas sexuales de riesgo. |

Summary: The article studies the anthropologic statute of the “brain-dead” patient. Though most of the experts thin k that these people are actually dead, some authors assume that because the organic functions are still present in these people, it is hard to determine their death. Supported by aristothelic anthropology, the article defends the idea that it is possible to consider the physiologic remanent events as “life” , but “vegetative life”, absolutely and irreversibly separated from the sensitives and intelec- tual faculties. In addition, this situation is considered as a state of inviability for the patient, because it entails the total and irreversible loss of the unity of the person. Then, it is possible to affirm that, at the current state of the technology, death –if determined by neurologic criteria- is not compatible with the soul-body union. So vital phenomena exposed in the corpses aren’t human life itself, but simple vital residual dynamism, supported in artificial way. |

ABSTRACT The report from the Organ Donation Taskforce looking at the potential impact of an opt-out system for deceased donor organ donation in the UK, published in November 2008, is probably the most comprehensive and systematic inquiry to date into the issues and considerations which might affect the availability of deceased donor organs for clinical transplantation. By the end of a thorough and transparent process, a clear consensus was reached. The taskforce rejected the idea of an opt-out system. In this article we acknowledge the life saving potential of organ transplants and seek to highlight the difficulties that arise when the issue of organ shortage competes with concerns over choice and authorisation in the context of deceased donor organ donation.
