As you will soon discover (if you haven't figured it out yet), logic and facts don't matter on Terri threads.

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".

I understand what "dead" is. You don't.

I've been an army medic for 23 years of service, and I've seen many things, more than you could ever stomach I can assure you. I know anatomy very well, am a qualified xray technician, and surgical assistant in the field.
In civilian live I'm an industrial mechanical engineer specializing in applied hydraulics. I'm certainly not a stupid man. I can read an ME report and understand what it means, but obviously you don't, cant, or refuse to. I know that if I don't plug in my coffee maker, or any electrical device for that matter, it just won't work. that is what was left of Terri's brain was like. unplugged. Nothing remaining of any lobes were connected to dependent lobes, she had no memories, no nothing. It's just not possible, because we KNOW.

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.
