He also, in collaboration with ʿAlī Akbar Farahzādī, has authored an article titled “Study of Brain Death from the Perspective of Jurisprudence and Criminal Law” and after conceptual explanation and argumentative examination of the issue, in the position of conclusion, has stated that the criterion for human life is the connection of soul and body, and since this connection is through the brain, a brain-dead patient has the ruling of a dead human.
