Terri Schiavo (the brain dead woman)

[ArmoBarbi]

I was on topic for so long, man! lol

Did I mention that the Vadican and other priests have spoken up against letting her go? Also have I mentioned that the same bioethicist is speaking up who testified against Dr. Kevorkian? Also have I mentioned that the National Humanists have gotten involved?

Did you know that Bush the Apelike has signed a law against letting this woman go, yet when he was Gov of Teeexas he signed a law against keeping people on life support in such situations and supporting the right of the spouce to make the choice??? (If I remember correctly, someone can check and correct as needed)

How's that, Yosef jan? hehehehe

What’s so funny about rehabilitating the brain?

I don't think ck was explicit enough. Terry's frontal cortex is gone. The neurons dissolved many years ago due to the initial damage. The front half of her brain (responsible for all higher functioning) has been replaced with spinal/ventricular fluid. You can't rehab what isn't there.

Also Watching her swab test video makes me believe her brain can’t be completely dead.

Her brain isn't completely dead. The frontal cortex, however, is. She performs no cognitive functions. No thinking, no emotion, no personality, no Terry. All that is left is the equivalent of a slug brain without the ability to perform purposeful motor functions. Her eyes can follow a balloon; so can a camera.
