brain dead to me means no brain activity....
if you're going to use the term , please understand it....
people with strokes have brain damage...do you know how many people have strokes every year?
there is a particular type of stroke that effects the brain stem...
sometimes, these people can get up and move about and talk just as anyone can...
the only thing affected is their ability to swallow....when they try it, they choke and aspirate......
are we going to kill them as well, just because they can't eat like you and me?
