According to Pharmamom and her sources,
Diplomates and Fellows of the American Academy of Neurology state that a differential diagnosis for PVS must include an MRI and hours of neurologic testing--over the course of weeks. Of course, this is the opinion of a group of highly educated, expert DISINTERESTED neurologists, not the opinion of the husband's pet neurologists, one of whom is a member of a society which advocates euthanasia.
MRI's are not normally used for brain pics. The CT scan is.
She has MRI pics on file, but they inserted a stimulator in California. It is still there.It prevents using a MRI machine, because the field id too strong.But It did not matter, it was not necessary as the have recent CTs and other tests.
PVS is more about ablility, and not what the brain looks like anyway.
I don't care if she is totally brain dead. If she is able to breathe on her own and her religion now defines a feeding tube as not being extraordinary, she is still a living human being and deserves to be treated with dignity, her rights upheld, and not put down in a manner you wouldn't do to a dog even if she doesn't feel anything.
Brain death is a scientific concept, not a religious one. Stone cold dead bodies have been treated with more dignity than she has been.
