"If I were brain dead, the machines would be off already here in Germany, or they would be kept on to take some organs from me the docs have use for (don´t worry, I have filled out a declaration that I want to donate organs)."
Now why in the world would you want to do that. The same forces that want to kill Terri want to kill others by removing their organs. The varied definitions of brain dead are all contrary to morality and require that someone be declared dead who is in fact still living (read my tagline).
We have a legal definition of brain death: NO more brain activity. We need organ donors, and if I can´t recover, I will give others a 2nd life.
