"In the initial adversary proceeding, a board-certified neurologist who had reviewed a CAT scan of Mrs. Schiavo's brain and an EEG testified that most, if not all, of Mrs. Schiavo's cerebral cortex--the portion of her brain that allows for human cognition and memory--is either totally destroyed or damaged beyond repair. Her condition is legally a "terminal condition." 765.101(17), Fla. Stat. (2000). Although it is conceivable that extraordinary treatment might improve some of the motor functions of her brain stem or cerebellum, the Schindlers have presented no medical evidence suggesting that any new treatment could restore to Mrs. Schiavo a level of function within the cerebral cortex that would allow her to understand her perceptions of sight and sound or to communicate or respond cognitively to those perceptions."

And there are plenty of doctors who have testified in contradiction to the "one" neurologist. Gov. Bush may now have the opportunity to have that doctor's TESTIMONY REFUTED....something MS is afraid of.

Actually, this may not be true.

Please the study that I posted several weeks ago regarding recent research into the brain activity of those in a PVS.
