True. Since she has no cerebral cortex, apparently Schiavo is alive, yes, but not aware.
Did you know they said this about Karen Ann Quinlan too, and when they autopsied her brain, they discovered she had a very intact and functional cerebral cortex?
Would you like to see the autopsy report from the New England Journal of Medicine?
Did you know there is no way to be certain whether someone has a cerebral cortex which functions or not until after they have died and you can autopsy their brain?
