Since, surprisingly, I am note able to find an explanation of this term in any dictionary or online resource (I am able to find only many instances of it), I would be very glad if someone could explain what the term "model statue" means. Here is en example:
Harvard criteria in 1968 by an ad hoc committee on brain death at Harvard Medical School. These criteria described determination of a condition known as “irreversible coma,” “cerebral death,” or brain death.Since the initial introduction of these criteria, the Uniform Determination of Death Act, promulgated in 1980 and supported by the President’s Commission for the Study of Ethical Problems in Medicine and Biomedical and Behavioral Research, has served as a model statute for the adoption of state legislation that defines death.
Thanks in advance!
