I spent many years as a critical care nurse looking after patients with devastating injuries. Some had “brain death” confirmed by cerebral flow studies among other tests. I can tell you with absolute certainty that anyone who is really truly brain dead cannot breathe without a ventilator and cannot maintain blood pressure without high dose infusions of exogenous catecholamines. These patients, if not removed from “life support” succumb to a cardiac death within a few days because the neuro endocrine methods of keeping the heart beating stop within days of brain function ceasing. All these cases of people living months or years as “brain dead” are all such bee ess and anyone who understands the physiology would know that. The death mongers love to throw that term around because it serves their pro-death, anti-life purpose. And many uninformed FReepers even fall for it. Sad
This girl is not & was not ever “brain dead”.
Take a look at this:
UCLA Neurologist: Jahi “Alive!” “Awake!”
Among the highlights:
1. She can move her feet when asked -- impossible if someone is "brain dead"
2. Menarche occurred in her condition -- sexual maturation doesn't continue if someone is "brain dead"
3. The structure of her brain, in particular her cerebral cortex hasn't liquefied after a year -- impossible in someone who is "brain dead"
