Declaration of Sydney is related to ?
Correct Answer: Time of death
Description: Ans. is 'a' i.e., Time of death Declaration of SydneyThe advent of organ transplantation made this Declaration a guide to determining the time of death of the comatose donor. "Brain death" has displaced "cardiac death" as the essential criterion; and the diagnosis must be made before there is organ death.The Declaration also states that "If transplantation of an organ is onvolved, the decision that death exists should be made by one or more physicians; and the physicians determining the moment of death should in no way be immediately concerned with the performance of the transplant."This makes for objectivity. But it is incorrect to say that "death exists" or refer to "the moment of death". The patient is not dead until after life suppo has been withdrawn.
