Abstract Background: Between 2003 and 2009, there were approximately 20,000 brain deaths per million people per year in China.These cases represent an important source for organ donation. As it is neurologists who are primarily involved in determining brain death, their knowledge and attitude toward brain death and organ donation directly affects decisions of family members regarding organ donation.Methods: This qualitative study was conducted in 2019. Data on neurologists’ knowledge and attitudes towards brain death and organ donation were obtained from fifteen neurologists in the Departments of Neurology from Chinese hospitals using a content analysis approach as achieved in semi-structured interviews. Results: Overall, these neurologists conveyed a positive attitude toward organ donation after brain death. However, they noted the importance of considering and respecting the opinions of these patients’ families. From the data analysis, 4 themes and 12 categories were developed. The 4 themes included: 1) brain death organ donation as a good thing, 2) interacting with brain death patient’s family, 3) cultural influences on organ donation with brain death and 4) strategies to improve organ donation rates in patients with brain death.Conclusion: The results of this study have provided some new and important information regarding the knowledge and attitude of Chinese neurologists toward brain death and organ donation. Such information is critical for guiding government and health care systems in designing strategies to improve donation rates and decisions from brain death patients.

Double Effect Donation claims it is permissible for a person meeting brain death criteria to donate vital organs, even though such a person may be alive. The reason this act is permissible is that it does not aim at one’s own death but rather at saving the lives of others and because saving the lives of others constitutes a proportionately serious reason for engaging in a behavior in which one foresees one’s death as the outcome. Double Effect Donation, we argue, opens a novel position in debates surrounding brain death and organ donation and does so without compromising the sacredness and fundamental equality of human life. Summary: Recent cases and discussion have raised questions about whether brain death criteria successfully capture natural death. These questions are especially troubling since vital organs are often retrieved from individuals declared dead by brain death criteria. We therefore seem to be left with a choice: either salvage brain death criteria or else abandon current organ donation practices. In this article, we present a different way forward. In particular, we defend a view we call Double Effect Donation, according to which it is permissible for a person meeting brain death criteria to donate vital organs, even though such a person may be alive. Double Effect Donation, we argue, is not merely compatible with but grows out of a view that acknowledges the sacredness and fundamental equality of human life.
