We carried out a questionnaire survey on the brain death committees of university hospitals in Japan. Fewer than a half of university hospitals have independent brain death committees. However, a tendency was observed from this survey that the university hospitals established independent brain death committees from the pre-existing ethical committees. The role of anesthesiologists seems to become more important for decision of the brain death.
