Life support is used for individuals who are brain dead to maintain organ function and preserve bodily systems for potential organ donation. Although brain death signifies the irreversible cessation of all brain activity, life support can keep vital organs functioning temporarily. This is often crucial for ethical and medical reasons, allowing for the possibility of saving other lives through organ transplantation.
