Schiavo-like Woman in Recovery Miracle

A severely brain-damaged Kansas woman who couldn't talk or feed herself after a car accident two years ago has inexplicably regained those abilities, confounding the predictions of doctors.

Tracy Gaskill, 30, began speaking and swallowing about three weeks ago, family members and medical personnel told the Associated Press. Gaskill had suffered head trauma and internal injuries after her car rolled over on a highway in September 2002.

>>> Would the 'medical expert', Donnie Donovon, like to grace us with further false assertions since apparently a person can laugh and smile when their cerebral cortex is mush (which will be a huge surprise to the rest of the medical community), according to the 'kill the useless eaters' medical expert.

I don't think he can answer any more of your questions...

It obviously does, and it's apparent to me that it was the trial balloon. All those who said there wouldn't be more to follow are very, very wrong--but perhaps they knew that when they said it. They got their foot in the door, didn't they?

Well said. I'd add that they also bemoan the "lack of civility" and/or "the lack of intelligent discussion" when the rest of us don't go along with their murderous opinions.

I hope the ACLU vigorously appeals her decision to recover. She has clearly inifringed upon her own right to die and been denied the euphoria euflorida of starvation.

At the risk of being labelled the "spelling police" I just had to correct that. ; )

No danger of that. The spelling cops would've spelled "labeled," correctly...;-)

That's what you get for using a thaurontasaurus instead of a dictionary.

That's ok. The spelling cop wanted to turn me over to the Department of Corrections, but luckily there was also a grammar cop who let me go with a simile and a warning.

They don't make grammar cops like that anymore. Nowadays, if you're zooming along the information superhighway, and you get pulled over, you might as well hand over your keyboard. He must have been a bit of a DOSasaurus.

That's fine for you, but it ain't safe for a woman to hitch-hike. So I'm just a pedestrian on the information superhighway. That works okay most of the time, but sometimes I trip over my shoe laces.

The "barefoot" I don't mind. It's the "'n all" that scares me. The next baby in my family better call me "Granny."

I have no agenda except for the truth. From all sides.
