Death in the urban Greek culture has become increasingly distant from\neveryday life; medical training and practice mirror this outlook by ignoring\nthe study of ethical questions connected with the care of the dying. Doctors\noften avoid their terminally ill patients and dying patients are isolated,\naway from the public, within the hospital. Criteria for the determination of\ndeath are based on similar practices in other countries: permanent functional\ndeath of the brain stem constitutes brain death and, when brain death occurs,\nartificial life-support can be withdrawn.
