Objective tests show her cerebral cortex is principally liquid. If Dr. Hammesfahr has an objective test that says otherwise, I've yet to hear about it. If he bases his disagreement on a different interpretation of the same scan, he isn't saying so.
If the objective tests are correct, Dr. Hammesfahr is either lying or a quack. There is no known therapy that can regenerate this tissue.
If you don't like my skepticism, keep in mind that the Schindlers have presented testimony from persons who say they CAN regenerate this tissue - which is completely incredible by any scientific measure. This reeks of grasping at straws to me, and people holding out straws to those who will do anything in their power to save their daughter make me angry.
This is a bizarre statement. A parent using all in his power to save his child makes you angry?
As I said before, you won't believe what ANY doctor.
If he bases his disagreement on a different interpretation of the same scan, he isn't saying so.
Didn't listen to his interview in the provided link, did ya. It's in post #55. And he spent a combined time of 10 hours with Terri. The first time for 5 hours. But he has to be a quack because the euthanasia experts spent a LOT less time and they're more knowledgeable, right? You do realise that the 3 who said she's PVS regularly testify for euthanasia? No axe to grind there.
How about this for a test procedure: hook Terri up to a polygraph, take a blood sample, and play some randomly-sequenced tape recordings of various people all in a neutral tone of voice saying various things. Then give the recordings (in different random order) and the polygraph readings to someone who wants Terri alive and see if that person can divide both pictures and polygraph readings into different categories. If Terri is PVS, it should be impossible to assign any grouping better than chance. If Terri gives polygraph responses that allow e.g. a statement from Michael Schiavo that he's going to kill her like he killed her cats, to be distinguished from a statement from her parents that she'll be fine if she can relax, that would objectively prove that she is not PVS.
As for the blood test, the purpose of that should be obvious.
