If brain death can become the commonly accepted definition of death, unfortunate relatives might find death easier to face and not try pointless emergency measures to save a life. Medical resources will also then be saved, and perhaps more people will be willing to donate their organs.
而如果「腦死」能成為普遍的死亡定義，遭逢親人不幸的家屬可能會比較冷靜的面對死亡，不做無意義急救，由此既可節省醫療資源，更將可能有助於讓更多人完成捐贈器官的心願。
