Who decides the moment of death, how is it determined, and how does this determination affect us all?

Rabbi Berel Bell, an expert on medical issues in Jewish law, gives a history of the determination of what is death and what is life. When is the moment propitious for harvesting organs without committing murder? The answers depend on factors including which country and which state one lives in; where medical science is currently; and what the legal profession decides in each case.
