Answer:
Brain death is permanent and irreversible. It is a legal definition of death. However, the vital organs such as the heart, lungs, liver, pancreas and kidneys can be kept viable for a few days if supported by artificial or mechanical support.

Answer:
Brain Death
Brain death (also known as brain stem death) is when a person on an artificial life support machine no longer has any brain functions. This means they will not regain consciousness or be able to breathe without support. A person who's brain dead is legally confirmed as dead.
If the body of a brain dead person is kept on a ventilator, the heart may continue to beat for 2-3 days, and keep vital organs such as the liver and kidney alive for this time period. These organs can be surgically removed for donation.... The family has the option of donating all or some of the organs.
Donation of Organs
Organs that can be transplanted are the heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, pancreas and intestines. The skin, bone tissue (including tendons and cartilage), eye tissue, heart valves and blood vessels are transplantable forms of tissue.
The medical condition of the person at the time of death can determine what organs and tissues can be donated and what cannot be. Organs need to be removed as soon as the person is declared brain-dead. Without the necessary oxygen supply, the organs stop functioning right.
The approximate amount of time between recovering the tissues/organs and transplanting them is:
Lung - 4 to 6 hours
Heart - 4 hours
Liver - 24 hours
Pancreas - 24 hours
Kidney - 72 hours
Cornea - 14 days
Bones - 5 years
Skin - 5 year
Heart Valves - 10 years
Hope this helps you..
Thank you...
