Which is why folks like you, and obviously 'Nathan', can't understand what 'inalienable' means?
I guess it's only "logical" and "factual" to them that useless eaters should be taken off their "feed".
You people can sit in lala land and cling to the silly excuses you repeat to support your claims. I won't. We know plenty about how the brain works, it's well mapped.
What we don't know is how to fix it. We can't grow new neurons, folia, neuro pathways and reconnect parts of the brain, the lobes, so they can work again. Terri was brain dead, virtually every single part of her brain, the higher brain functioning centers were destroyed, disconnected.
Her body lived on auto functions which are located in the Medulla oblongata [brainstem]. She was dead Feb 25 1990, and her brain decayed, rotted away since that time, slowly replaced with cerebrospinal fluid, EIGHT TIMES the normal amount contained in a normal brain sack. her brain, or more accurately, that hollow shell, was 1/3, 1.35 lbs, compared to a normal brain weight, which is 3- 3-65 lbs.
It's important to note that the Autopsy report said it was 1/3 the weight, not size.
Your insults won't work on me; as noted above, they are used by people who don't have anything intelligent to say, or facts to back up their argument.
