CRA - Article - Brain Death - Author: Dr. Mihai D. Dimancescu - The term "Brain Death" has an ominous implication, and rightfully so, but is occasionally wrongfully used with tragic consequences.

CRA - Article - Brain Death - Psychological Implications - author - Robert H. Phillips, Ph.D., Psychologist - Coma can be emotionally traumatic for the family. However, where there is brain activity, the possibilities still exist that progress can occur. Family members, although devastated, at least feel that they can do something to help their loved one, and may begin to use different types of activities to stimulate the comatose patient.
