We're saving a lot of lives that otherwise wouldn't have a chance. And the data indicate that if NRP was used nationally to the extent that we're able to do it here in Tennessee, we could essentially eliminate liver waiting list deaths.
I think the bottom line is that NRP violates foundational ethical norms around the determination of death and should not be pursued.
A 2022 paper...found that certain surgical techniques could ensure that brain function isn't restarted during NRP. Some blood pathways to the brain could also be drained ahead of time.
