Carmela's peer review
Legal death can be a difficult topic to write about given that it can be very complicated, but I think the article is off to a good start! Looking at the number of sources linked on the page, I think it's a good start given that this article is still in the early stages and is continuing to be worked on by not just you but the wiki community as well. The leading section is a solid introduction to the topic. The sections in the article are short but lay a good foundation for you to build upon, particularly the "medical declaration." Not sure if you were thinking of adding to the other sections that are more "legal-leaning" (although the "false declarations of death" sounds super interesting, kind of like a primetime crime show?). I think the "medical declaration" section can use a bit more fleshing out. There are already solid definitions of CV and brain death, so what might help is an explanation of what makes it difficult or complicated to actually declare brain/CV death--maybe with a few cases to help illustrate? And maybe you came across this in your research, or if not you could bring it up in the article's talk page, but maybe also touching on which category of legal death is more used in clinical settings (or if it doesn't matter). I also don't see much of the ethics on here yet BUT I did see the topics you wanted to discuss in your sandbox, those are great! Especially the criteria for adults vs infants, that'll be really interesting to see later on. I think there's a lot of room for you to do and add whatever you find interesting or useful, best of luck spearheading that section! This may be a whole separate topic but maybe addressing the whole process of declaring death for patients that are on life support and what that means and whatever ethical concerns that go along with that (i.e. how long is deemed "appropriate" to wait until you declare death/keep someone on life support, if there's no advanced directive are you allowed to keep them on life support or should you try to declare legal death, etc.) Overall a great start to editing your wiki article! Hope you're enjoying doing your research. Let me know if you'd like another pair of eyes to look at stuff in the future! Carmela055 (talk) 05:17, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
