She continued by outlining the distinctions between brain death and a coma, emphasizing the medical criteria used to confirm brain death. To help the audience better understand the concept, she presented a brief video illustrating the diagnostic process of brain death. The session concluded with a discussion on real-world organ donation case, allowing participants to consider how these medical determinations impact families and healthcare decisions. Furthermore, discussions on how high the transplantation charges are, and how families struggle to pay the medical costs especially from poor economic background helped wrap the presentation.
