The argument is pointless because Terri Shiavo can't have an MRI done - and no doctor will get up there and say she can

And here's some more ammo to blow that one completely out of the water...

So why hasn’t an MRI been done for Terri? That question has never been satisfactorily answered. George Felos has argued that an MRI can’t be done because of thalamic implants that were placed in Terri’s skull during the last attempt at therapy, dating back to 1992. But Felos’s contention ignores the fact that these implants could be removed. Indeed, the doctor who put them in instructed Michael to have them removed. Michael has never done so.

The most obvious possible explanation for what would otherwise be inexplicable behavior is that Michael Schiavo, George Felos, and Judge Greer don’t want to admit any information that would upset the diagnosis they already have. Dr. Morin, when told that Michael had refused an MRI, and that Judge Greer had confirmed the decision, said: “He refused a non-invasive test? People trying to do the right thing want the best and most complete information available. We don't have that in Terri’s case.” Dr. Bell agreed with this assessment, saying, “It seems as though they’re fearful of any additional information.”

It doesn't blow it out of the water - ya know why? Because the stimulator implants in her head are STILL there - you just said so yourself.

So, if she can't have an MRI done, without surgery first (do you think she'd survive surgery at this point? I don't...) to remove the implants, what should be done?

How about a PET Scan? A PET scan is more valuable anyway - it will measure actual brain activity.

So, join me in asking that a PET Scan get done instead. How 'bout it?
