She was never in a coma, but was brain dead. That means she was really dead. Her mother tried to keep the body going (was she hoping a new brain would appear and Jahi would live again?).
Once death has occurred, it is usually impossible to keep the body in a functional state. I’m guessing that Jahi’s body remained in a life-like state because she was so young. I think the maximum time a body had been preserved in this manner was a few months, and this was done experimentally.
Jahi actually died several years ago.
Point remains, there are plenty of people in coma who are on ventilation.
They can’t breathe on their own either.
So what is their real point then?
Euthanasia by default.
Regardless of one’s personal stance on the issue, who were the doctors and surgeons who agreed to operate? Why now? Why not any time in the previous 5 years? What medical issues did they hope to address and what outcome were they seeking?

Euthanasia is actively killing someone. Withdrawing life support is NOT euthanasia. There are many pro life and Christian individuals who are horrified at what was done to this child. Most of the people throwing stones would not want similar treatment for themselves in a similar situation. Most people’s greatest fear is not death but precisely what happened to this child for many years. I think it is also a poor Christian witness. As a child of Christ I would far desire to depart and be in glory with my Savior than literally lay rotting in a nursing home attached to machines. Now I will be flamed as well but it needs to be said
Sorry, you’re a lying scum on this issue.
