Terri's seems to be taken at the level of the sinuses- see the space in the white area (bone) on top. The normal one was taken much higher up.
I have seen a girl that had severe seizures and the only cure was to literally remove half her brain- she is in college.
There was another teenage girl that was perfectly normal. She got in a minor accident and had a CAT scan. The doctors were amazed that most of her skull was filled with fluid! Her perfectly normal functioning brain was only an inch thick layer right under the skull bones. She is in college now.

All I said was the scan showed significant atrophy.

You haven't seen any post from me that attempts to diagnose or make a judgment about what should be done.

I make it a point not to put my opinion out here.

Everybody is talking technical here! Terri will never be a rocket scientist,...granted. But unless she is flat-lining, she has A life, her life, not one you or I might want, but it is all she has. I have a nephew that has CP and is worse off than her. He sings, laughs, and knows who we are and who's talking. He cannot however make eye contact or have ANY motor control. The thing is, he doesn't know anything else, so what's to miss? Nobody is trying to kill him,....yet! We all know she is brain damaged, but she isn't a piece of meat to be thrown in a dumpster. This is where we are judged as a culture, how we treat the defenseless. With abortion and euthanasia, American will not survive. Soilent Green is next if they can make a diesel run on it.
