Well the ballistic analogy doesn't quite work. There really is very little undertood about the human brain. Look at Kate Adamson and Sarah Scantlin.
I don't see what the tests could hurt either. Too bad we're not in control.
By mid 1996, the CAT scans of her brain showed a severely abnormal structure.
That experimental stimulator is still in her head causing pressure. I have no link for this as I can't remember who said it but someone stated that removing the stimulator would increase blood flow etc. I found that interesting.
The problem is that cuts both ways. There's no test out there that will prove that she has anything more than reflexive responses. We possibly can determine how much of her brain remains better than the last time those scans were run. But we still have to deal with the "fact" that she's in permanent vegetative state.
Legally, I don't know how you get around it, even with new tests. None of them are going to spit out the result NOT IN PVS
At this point, I will reiterate what I've said on this thread all along. The legislature can change the rules or they can fail to change the rules. And that's the only place that can make any difference to the outcome.
If they don't change the rules in the next couple of weeks, Terri will die.
