Let me walk you through this slowly:

Under the ADA, an individual with a disability is a person who:

1. has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities;
2. has a record of such an impairment; or
3. is regarded as having such an impairment.

One of the basic clinical requirements for brain death is the absence of spontaneous respirations.

Just because you want it to be true doesn't make it fact.

Okay. "Brain dead" is sloppy terminology.

Her cerebral cortex is virtually dead, is it not? It's liquified, is it not?

The functional part of her brain is the brain stem, correct?

Am I right on this part?
