In this rejoinder I will critically evaluate Dominiak’s arguments as they unravel in his exquisite and well-argued paper Brain Death in Japan: A Critical Approach, which was, incidentally, co-authored by Szczęsny. The order of my replies will reflect the order of Dominiak’s points in his original paper. Moreover, I will not only point to some inaccuracies appearing there but also will try to illuminate their sources and ramifications. Finally, I will indicate whether the criticism is theoretically or practically oriented since at times theoretical problems will prove to be irrelevant as far as the medical practice goes.
