Not at all. Terry was brain damaged, not brain dead. Her brain was still acting as the master controller of her body, and she was somewhat aware. I think what was done to her is horrific.
When people become brain dead, their brain literally is a dead piece of flesh in their head. It receives no blood, it emits no electrical or chemical signals--it might as well be a lump of inert clay in the head. The person is pronounced dead when it is determined that brain death has occurred.
yada, yada, yada....
