In the case of deceased donors, there are two types of criteria: brain death and cardiac death. In brain death, the brain has stopped because it is no longer receiving blood. In cardiac death, the heart stops and death is declared. It is interesting to note that most organ donors are people who have experienced brain death. Why? Because even if the brain has stopped functioning, their heart continues to beat, which allows the organs to remain in good condition for donation.
