Paul A. Byrne M.D. will be the Keynote speaker for a conference on "brain death" criteria and organ transplant this Saturday, March 21, 9:30 AM-3 PM, at Epiphany of Our Lord Ukrainian Church Hall, 434 90th Ave. North, St. Petersburg, Florida.

Dr. Byrne is a Neonatologist and Clinical Professor of Pediatrics and is an expert in differentiating between "brain death" and true death. He has published numerous articles in medical, legal and lay journals and has authored "Life, Life Support and Death," "Beyond Brain Death," "Brain Death is not Death" and produced the film "Continuum of Life."

Dr. Byrne worked with the electronic engineers from the space program to adapt the blood pressure cuff used on the finger of the astronaut to the arm of the premature infant to take blood pressure on premature and newborn infants. For this and related new therapies for infants he was listed in Advances in Medicine in the 1973 Annual Edition of Encyclopedia American. He has also presented testimony to nine state legislatures, opposed Jack Kevorkian on Crossfire, and has spoken throughout the US, England, Buenos Aires, Australia, Guatemala, and other countries.

Bobby Schindler, brother of the late Terri Schiavo, will also speak at the conference on the efforts and interventions by Terri's Foundation that have helped save the lives of vulnerable persons in danger of imposed death by euthanasia. Terri's Foundation website: www.terrisfight.org.
