The doctors had told his wife that they needed to take him off life support because he was brain dead. WELL, his oldest daughter had put her head on the bed and was crying, his sister noticed that tears started coming down his face. They called in the doctor and he told Lisa (his daughter) to talk to him and tell him to blink, so she did and he blinked!

It seems like doctors are often deciding that someone is brain dead when they are not. What is going on here? How many times is this scene repeating itself across our nation? I know the doctors were claiming my father was brain dead when he was still talking to the family. I hope your uncle continues to improve.

Some doctors have a real God-complex problem. My opinion is that the root cause of their belief that they have knowledge divine of the human body, as well as the general accceptance of this culture of death is the widespread absence of moral and Christian upbringing in this country.
