Illinois law may help lawyers and medical practitioners answer some of the legal questions arising out of the medical world's last major advance -- successful hearttransplant surgery. According to the Illinois State Bar association, state law already provides a method by which a person may legally donate his or her heart to science* The ISBA notes that a law relating to wills aid estates gives any person of the age 18 years who is "of sound mind and memory" the right to donate all or, any part of his body to science, either by a will or other written instrument executed durii^ lifetime. Such a gift' may be made to various authorities and institutions named in the law, including any M legally licensed hospital or other organizations intended and equipped to distribirte human bodies or parts thereof..The gift may be used as these organizations "may see fit". Ues statute further states that such "gift shall become immediately effective upon death" and no person acting in good faith shall be liable because of any subsequent revocation of the gift about which he had no knowledge. Thus, doctors and lawyers have at least something to goon in their efforts to resolve legal questions surrounding heart transplant operations. Moreover, as to tits question erf the moment of death of a donor -- the moment at which his heart becomes available to support the life of another human being -- the precedent is perhaps even clearer. Essentially, a persoa is considered legally dead when a licensed physician or corcnsr attests to the fact of death, hi determining this, physicians generally have followed the rule that if there is no pulsation of the heart, no breathing, no spontaneous muscular movement and no reflexes, a death las occurred. • ^ Recently, in adefition to the a* farementionad criteria, hospitals and doctors have been relying (hi a more sophisticated, technique. This is the electroencephalogram (EEG) test involving and reading of brain waves, Transplant surgeons in other states have relied on this test in deciding that the instant of death may in some cases occur before the heart stops. There is some legal conflict even in cases where a person has previously arranged to donate his body or specific organs should that person (fie fcy unnatural causes. Incases where there has been an absence of medical attention, usually a suicide, homicide or accident, the coroner in Illinois ha3 jurisdiction as a representative of people. The victim may have willed his heart to a certain hospital, but if the body in a coroner's case is disturbed without the coroner's permission, there may be criminal penalities. . Other questions also remain to be answered. For example, an autopsy is required in homicide cases, but could the autopsy report be considered complete if the heart had been removed?
