[A proposal for the amendment of Law No. 644 of 2 December 1975 on Regulation of the removal of parts of cadavers for the purpose of therapeutic transplantation, and rules concerning the removal of the hypophysis from cadavers for the production of extracts for therapeutic use: (Off. Gazz. No. 344, 19 December 1975)].
Law No. 644 on organ transplants is examined in the light of personal experience and the international literature. Reference is made to the non-correspondence of ECG, absence of plantar reflexes, and paralytic mydriasis for the early diagnosis of cerebral death. Stress is laid on the importance of cerebral arteriography, retinal fluorangiography, and evoked potentials in association with clinical criteria.
