The focus of this note will be on the moment of death in the broader context of medico-legal practice and with specific reference to the amendments made by the National Health Act 61 of 2003 in this regard. Owing to the vast scope of the topic, the note will highlight the main debates regarding the moment of death, the definition for death and criteria for determining death. The basic principles and comments on recent developments in this particular area of medical law will also be discussed.
