Robert Veatch argues that the death of a person should be equated with the irreversible destruction of the cerebral cortex. This position is here questioned on grounds of tutiorism as well as on the basis of its philosophical assumptions. It is agrued that whole-brain death as an account of personal death is not open to these objections, and is a conception that can satisfy tutiorist standards of safety. The role of the EEG as an indicator of death is discussed
