The concept of brain death is examined historically and scientifically-phenomenologically: it is inherently contradictory and unsustainable. People with brain failure are severely ill, living individuals. Organ removal constitutes a third-party beneficial killing of a dying person. The ethical dimension of this atrocity is explored. What modalities regulate organ donation? What arguments are used to defend brain death? What does organ donation mean, what can the donor expect, and what about the recipient? There is massive advertising instead of legally compliant information! What can the relatives expect? Is living donation as harmless as it seems? What is the connection to commercial and criminal organ procurement? Could animal organs be a solution? How must structures be fundamentally changed to restore trust? How should a legally compliant information process be conducted for everyone?.
