>>>I'd like his detailed comments on the "isolated living tissue" and it's implications for therapy.

From the OPINION George Wythe posted:

"Dr. William Hammesfahr claimed that vasodilation therapy and hyberbaric therapy "could help her improve." He could not testify that any "specific function" would improve."

Doctors aren't suppose to make specific predictions on functions. Any doctor, or in this case, Alleged Expert, that makes specific predictions are negligent.

Please expand your comment a bit. The court held an evidentiary hearing to assess Terri's chances for recovering "increased cognitive function".

"On the issue that caused this court to reverse in our last decision, whether new treatment exists which offers such promise of increased cognitive function in Mrs.Schiavo's cerebral cortex that she herself would elect to undergo this treatment andwould reverse the prior decision to withdraw life-prolonging procedures, the parents presented little testimony."

I don't see the point of the doctor's opinions, at the evidentiary hearing, unless they hazard predictions of the liklihood of "increased cognitive function".
