You forgot to add the part where recent brain scans show her entire cerebral cortex area to have basically turned to mush.

There are some people who are capable of walking and talking even though they have very large portions of their brains missing. A CT scan is of limitted use for distinguishing between someone with zero cortex remaining and someone with a little.

I remember reading the story of a man who had almost all of his brain missing and medical science was just simply stunned that he could do many of the things he could. The story pointed out how little they still know.

And again - I'm not debating the decision by either party. Some folks agree, and some disagree. That's part of being a grownup.

It's none of our business, and it's not a political issue - well, it shouldn't have been, IMO.

What it IS is a shameful circus, both in FL and here on FR. And when it's all done, there will be a lot of hateful things said by folks that can't ever be taken back. All because folks don't agree with them 100 percent. Just like the rabid left - anyone who doesn't fall into lockstep with you is evil or stupid - or both. (disclaimer - that's not directed at you; you've been civil to me thus far. I'm just repeating one of my main points, as you seem to be trying to debate me on things that I have no desire to dicuss, as it's not the point I'm making).

A poster earlier called FR "Bizarro DU" when it comes to this issue. I'd laugh louder, except he/she's right.
