Not to open another can of worms, but just what if some miracle in modern science (don't laugh, I'm doing this partly to illustrate the absurdity and hypocrisy of liberal thinking) but what if a miracle cure was found in stem cell technology, for example, or some other modern medical breakthrough makes it possible to grow new nerve cells, new brain cells, etc. Could happen the day after tomorrow. A cure for how many diseases, ailments, injuries, lost body parts, etc, is just around the corner?
Just in the last several years, there has been new research completely tossing out the dogma of conventional wisdom that new brain cells can not be grown. Imagine that! After all these years, THEY WERE WRONG!
Some snippets...
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Researchers have discovered that transplanted bone marrow cells can migrate to the brain and turn into neurons, a dramatic laboratory finding that may offer hope of new therapies for Parkinson's disease and other brain disorders.
Until recently, scientists thought that humans did not grow new brain cells. They thought that only fetuses could grow brain cells and the rest of us were stuck with the brain cells with which we were born. But the world of neuroscience was pleasantly shocked when researchers at Princeton University discovered in 1998 that monkeys could grow new memory cells
What if? Exactly!
There are too many "what ifs" in this case. And there is new technology since Terris initial diagnosis of PVS. What if Greer had allowed Terri to have this test?
Nobody will ever know what Terri was capable of, what she could feel, what she could hear. Again....what if?
