Today’s scientific and technological progress has generated not only ethical, but also legal problems. In practice, the innovative clinical therapy used to resuscitate patients in cardiac arrest has obliged increasing numbers of states to review the legal criteria they apply to certifying death. The global spread of the standard based on brain death has met with resistance in Japan, however, where legislation is still very restrictive. This paper sets out to describe the Japanese legislation and the legislative process that led to its enactment, as well as identifying some philosophical, legal and cultural reasons that explain why legislative safeguards should be adopted when enshrining the criterion of brain death in legislation. Il dossier raccoglie, in versione riveduta, i contributi al convegno Giustizia e verità: Una ricognizione della funzione di verità del diritto, tenutosi a Milano il 27 febbraio 2012, che da diverse prospettive riflettono sulla relazione esistente tra diritto, processo e verità.
