whose cerebral cortex has been completely destroyed.

You are assuming this is true. The doctors disagreed on this point. If actually true, how does she sit upright in a chair? How does she vocalize words like "mom", "paaa" (for pain)?

How does she have the ability to smile at people she likes, and not look at people that she distrusts?
