On its face, this language appeared to rule out the prompt transplantation of an accident victim's heart, but the committee felt that it was necessary to cover a few special cases. A victim of barbiturate poisoning may recover full brain function after 24 hours, or even longer, in deep coma. But in cases of massive head wounds, said Neurosurgeon William Sweet...
