What are your thoughts? Am I being too conspiratorial, or is the MSM once again leading our culture over the cliff and into the relativistic abyss?

I don’t put it past the MSM to do what you suggest, but it was my understanding that she became brain dead. Once you’re brain dead, there is no point in letting the body function biologically.

Anne Heche is not merely brain dead, she's dead dead. The doctors reported her brain dead on August 11th, and her family had removed from life support a day later, so she passed away today.

She was doomed from being trapped in that raging fire for so long. The super hot air she had to breath literally “cooked” her respiratory system.
True actual brain death is not a life IMHO and is something you’ll come back from.

These situations are all complicated.
Terry Schaivo was not brain dead, which is why they had to kill her.
If someone is brain dead they have no spontaneous respirations and their heart stops when you turn off the ventilator.
This is not “terminal extubation” after which people live for hours and occasionally days. It’s not terminal sedation, where drugs end the agony when someone is dying.
In a real brain death, usually from brain swelling that crushes the breathing centers, there is no need for drugs. Turn off the ventilator and bury the body.

Human beings
are not dead as long as the heart is beating. There have been numerous accounts of people coming out of comas and even where brain activity wasn't detected.
This is actually horrifying if one was to actually contemplate what is being done in this case. The Chinese have nothing on California.

I was told by a physician friend the term “brain dead” was never used until they started harvesting organs. Hence, I got rid of my organ donor status on my driver license.

Will her organs be fit to use if she was on cocaine and other drugs?

The truth is... The left wants to go beyond euthanasia. They want med pros calling the shots for quality of life and therefore having the power of life and death over patients. As with anything and everything with the left is always a slippery slope downhill into the abyss.

If a person dies After being taken off life support, that is not euthanasia by any stretch of the imagination. This is a propaganda headline.

“Brain dead” people are kept alive to preserve the organs for donation.

Am I being too conspiratorial, or is the MSM once again leading our culture over the cliff and into the relativistic abyss? I don't know, but the rules for Anne Heche may be vastly different from the rules for Terri Schiavo because Terri Schiavo wasn't a Hollyoood actress.

I did, too. But I’ve heard they pay no attention to that, and that they take your “stuff”, anyhow. The donor card is just to make you feel good.

She may have been so destroyed inside from the time spent breathing in that chemical smoke, fire, and burning and the wreck itself, that we don’t even want to know what condition she was in besides being brain dead.

Sure...if that’s what you think.
She lived a life of debauchery, liberalism, and evil - a great example for all future demons to follow.

JFK is dead. Leave him alone now. Right? So is Seth Rich, Mary Jo Kopechne, Vince Foster, the passengers on flight 800, etc.
To: who_would_fardels_bear
Sometimes the body will operate for a long time after brain death, sometimes only hours. For some, you have to ask, are machines keeping them alive and would God have let them die?
