Brainstem death and brain death although practically same with regards to the concept of organ donation, remain technically different. Brain death mandates irreversible cessation of all the functions of the entire brain and brainstem while brainstem death signifies irreversible damage to the brainstem. As per the Indian law, brainstem death is the legal requirement and not brain death.
尽管在器官捐献概念方面脑干死亡和脑死亡实际上是相同的，但在技术层面上它们仍有区别。脑死亡要求整个大脑和脑干的所有功能不可逆转地停止，而脑干死亡意味着脑干受到不可逆转的损伤。根据印度法律，脑干死亡是法律要求，而非脑死亡。
